No Longer Afraid Of The Dark

I’m standing right in front of you, but you don’t see me.
I try to tell you how I feel, but you’re not listening.
I’m pouring out my heart, but you just don’t seem to care.
I reach out desperately, but you’re no longer here.

People look right through me, they don’t even know my name.
But that’s okay I don’t need them, they can’t save me anyway.
The road that I am walking, is only wide enough for one.
But I’m not lonely, I’m just fine on my own.

I’m turning off all these lights, ’cause I don’t need them.
No longer afraid of the dark, I’ve got my lantern.
I hear the war machines, they’re getting louder.
I can feel the rumbling, and it’s all around now.

People look right through me, they don’t even know my name.
But that’s okay I don’t need them, they can’t save me anyway.
The road that I am walking, is only wide enough for one.
But I’m not lonely, I’m just fine on my own.

You don’t see what I see but that doesn’t make me wrong.
Even though on different paths we hum the same song.
Take your lonely little world and make it bigger.
Take aim at what you want and pull the trigger.

People look right through me, they don’t even know my name.
But that’s okay I don’t need them, they can’t save me anyway.
The road that I am walking, is only wide enough for one.
But I’m not lonely, I’m just fine on my own.

I watch the fading light drain from the tired sky,
I wait patiently, as another empty day slips by.
The night shines like a black-and-white movie,
Stars flicker on the screen, just not for me.

People look right through me, they don’t even know my name.
But that’s okay I don’t need them, they can’t save me anyway.
The road that I am walking, is only wide enough for one.
But I’m not lonely, I’m just fine on my own.
