Darkness Is Comfort

We're cast down through the ages
 We're cast out forgotten
 Through emptiness of solitude
 Through this emptiness
 No one will ever listen
 No one will even care
 Darkness is the only comfort
 Darkness is all that's safe
 Their gazes turn sideways whenever you're near
 They turn their backs to you pretend you aren't there
 It's so hard to smile when they feed you this shit
 You'll never fit in, never be one of them
 So hard to be the outcast
 So hard to be alone
 Why must there be tomorrow
 Why must there be today
 They say that they're your good friends
 They say nothing but lies
 No one is to be trusted
 No word is ever safe
 No one is to be trusted
 No word is ever safe
 Darkness the only comfort
 Darkness all that's safe
 Bring it in waves like the ocean at night
 To wrap its cold hands around my head
 To blur out the colors of all that is life
 Steal air that I breathe from my chest
 Pull me out, current, show me new life
 Grant me this chance to see
 What I could become if left on my own
 Without them staring at me
 They will not understand what we've become
 They'll never know how far we've gone
 They just keep smiling, the joke is on them
 They won't understand, the joke is on them
 I will find my life
 I don't need you to leave me, I left you behind
