Alone In The Crowd

Just another day in this small town
And like you the skies are grey
You couldn't find yourself out there
And got lost along the way
It's such a lonely road we live on
There's no one else for miles
And the only thing of beauty around here
Is when you smile... but its been a while.

The record plays the saddest songs
A soundtrack to your years
As you stare outside the window
I see the reflection of your tears
And no one understands your sorrows
You hide it deep within
But even if you found a way to open up
And let someone in... where would you begin?

You can't lose yourself in this make believe
You'd rather sleep than be awake
Drifting along in dreams hoping someday
These scribbled lines will be straight
So reality has long been hurting
And there's no pills for this kind of pain
I guess it's just part of life
And they say it's a game... but it's not the same.

There's no need to find the answers
To those questions in your head
You kept looking for some closure
But found confusion instead
And when the rainbows lose all their color
'Cuz the rains have washed them out
Just remember who has always been there
And who's here now... alone in the crowd.
