Loneliness Is a Pathetic Disease
i lie awake in bed at night
just there in the dark, no light
it's as if I'm truly drowning
no matter how many times i breathe
i'm sinking further, further
into me
loneliness is a pathetic disease
dependency is hellbent to destroy me
my need, my hunger...
all destined to consume me
and so I feel the salted tears collide on warm skin
and I furiously brush them away
no pain, no weakness, I must go numb
to feel is to be selfish
to be weak is to be a burden
loneliness is a pathetic disease
what i need i cannot ask for
i have to let it be
to tough it out
to not let it break me
and all the while as i lay helpless in the dark,
caving in to my demons
i finally admit
I miss you
just there in the dark, no light
it's as if I'm truly drowning
no matter how many times i breathe
i'm sinking further, further
into me
loneliness is a pathetic disease
dependency is hellbent to destroy me
my need, my hunger...
all destined to consume me
and so I feel the salted tears collide on warm skin
and I furiously brush them away
no pain, no weakness, I must go numb
to feel is to be selfish
to be weak is to be a burden
loneliness is a pathetic disease
what i need i cannot ask for
i have to let it be
to tough it out
to not let it break me
and all the while as i lay helpless in the dark,
caving in to my demons
i finally admit
I miss you
