Alone

It’s easy to learn a way of thinking
Where your brain shuts down completely
And to let in the indifference
Quickly and discreetly

It’s easy to learn a proper sickness
Where it takes over ultimately
And to throw out the torment
To make the end more timely

It’s easy to learn a wicked lesson
Where it sinks in until it drowns
And to keep up the illusions
So the barriers won’t go down

It’s easy to learn a broken record
Where it deceives and skips around
And to shut my eyes tight
In the hope that I won’t be found

It’s easy to learn how fake out the world
Where the truth lies deep in my bones
But it’s hard to find my center
When I’m on the outside, so alone
