Shhh, can you hear it?

Quiet.......it's so quiet.
Shhh, can you hear it?
You can if you are, as I.
Alone.

A smile comes, but not from joy.
It the thought of those who would council me.
Take heart, have fun, enjoy.
A smirk does come, they don't remember

So what, I'm alone
It's happened a million times
Survival is the game
Day to day. There is no change.

Do this, do that.
They like to say.
They don't remember
They forgot the darkness.

It worked for me, just do this.
Do they think that I have not tried.
They say to each other, "he wants to be that way"
For you, I don't even have a smirk

Some day it will pass
This I know
When? Ha, when...
So I survive.

But not alone
In a world of billions
You hear me, you know
It may be you like me

Your heart, it hurts
You're all alone
A friend, a lover or just someone
Someone at all

Shh, can you hear it?
You can, if you are like I.
Alone
So call me.

Hold my hand
Speak to me
I'll speak to you
We are alone

You have a candle
I have one too
With all the lonely candles
We'll build a fire

To hell with this,
Quietly we will not go
Shh can you hear it?
With you by my side,
Neither can I...
