Alienation

"As a stranger I wander through this lifeless city
 The bodies of the living dead walk along these filthy streets
 They limb through the garbage of bygone generations
 The bloody blacktop swallows the sound of the collapsing
 We all have holes in our hearts
 A void that can never be filled
 Isolation is the consent reigning our lives
 Among paved paradise and concrete hell
 We all will die of despair or loneliness"
 The flesh covers the bone
 And they put a mind in there and sometimes a soul
 And the women break vases against the walls
 And the men drink too much and nobody finds the one
 But keep looking crawling in and out of beds
 Flesh covers the bone and the flesh searches for more than flesh
 There is no chance at all - we are all trapped by a singular fate
 Nobody ever finds the one
 The city dumps fill
 The junkyards fill
 The madhouses fill
 The graveyards fill
 Nothing else fills
 We had trust – and been betrayed
 We had love – turned into hate
 We tried to collect some stars to enlighten this perpetual night
 But a clouded sky always cloaked our attempts to find some light
 So put your fear into a bottle
 Chomp it, swallow the shards, breathe strife
 Wipe the tears from your eyes
 Witness alienation deprave your life
