The Real Jester - Alone Lyrics

Do you know the feeling of emptiness?
A void you can hardly bear
You walk around like you're in a tunnel
Isolated from the air
You hear nothing and nothing makes sense
You get scared you're feeling tense
You want out of this in-between world
Longing to feel something intense

Alone in the crowd
Lost in the noise
Screaming out loud
But no one hears your voice
You try to break through
But the wall's too high
Crying screaming
Just trying to get by

You need closeness and warmth
But you're alone so alone
Even though you're right here
It feels like you're on your own
Extreme measures to break through
Nothing helps no escape in view
You dig deeper into the night
Hoping someday you'll feel all right

Alone in the crowd
Lost in the noise
Screaming out loud
But no one hears your voice
You try to break through
But the wall's too high
Crying screaming
Just trying to get by

At some point the feeling fades away
And you fear its return another day
You appreciate every touch every smile
Closeness warmth love for a while
You forget the nightmare as it disappears
But it lurks bringing back all your fears
An ice-cold shiver down your spine
Reminds you it's just a matter of time

Alone in the crowd
Lost in the noise
Screaming out loud
But no one hears your voice
You try to break through
But the wall's too high
Crying screaming
Just trying to get by

So I live intensely with all my might
Creating memories to hold tight
When the darkness comes again I'll fight
Knowing I've lived with all my light
No escape from the feeling's grip
But I'll keep pushing won't let it slip
