Analysis of Alone
Along this shock and awe
My heart can no longer thaw
With lifeless sympathy
I am imprisoned
Hearing a lost symphony
Judged upon insanity
They look me in the eyes
Feeling contempt
I leave without goodbyes
Without worry
My last tear drop
Thorns burried thus treason
My emotions flop
Alone in the darkness
I lock my heart
For the birds
They sing
