I have nothing to say to you,
I’m stronger on my own.
I don’t need anything from you.
I prefer to be alone.
Humans usually want something;
They, are rarely selfless,
And I do not have anything…
To give up, so it’s useless.
I can appreciate some things,
Provided by the pack,
But the bite of betrayal stings,
And I’ve learned from each attack,
That I can not depend on you,
And I’ve got my own back.

Here we are and there you are,
Yet a word is just a word.
Spread through the air and floating there;
They seem to you absurd.
Here I am and there you are,
Yet a word is just a word.
For after they’re sent, without discernment,
They may as well not be heard.
Here we are and there you are,
Yet a word is just a word.
If words were blood, and I wrote in blood,
Would my thoughts still be absurd?
Here I am and there you are,
Yet a word is just a word.
No matter what’s said, or I feel is bled…
From my veins…you see a word.
Here we are and there you are,
Yet a word is just a word.
I beg for help but you can’t help,
When a word is simply heard.
Here I am and there you are,
Yet a word is just a word.
Save me! Please save me! Yet you can’t save me…
For a word is just a word.
Here we are and there you are.
Yet a word is just a word.
No one can feel or know a word’s real,
Until their heart has heard.
Here I am and there you are,
Yet a word is just a word.
You can’t save me, and cannot help me,
For each word is just a word…
To you, my pain’s absurd.

Alone I am and alone I shall be,
For none can know the inside of me.
Though tales and stories are to be told.
Most of my being, I am to hold.
There are things that deeply burden me,
That others will never see.
Alone I am and alone I shall be,
For my soul is a lock without a key.
