Lost Behind These Walls

If I slit my wrists with this

Will I die and know I'm not alive.

Or will I survive?

It's all this stress mixed with loneliness.

Does no one see I'm still alive?

I'm an empty shadow

Flowing in the tide,

Slowing to hide.

From the people that row,

They flow right by my side.

I must not appear.

They mustn't see

What's become of me.

They don't know I'm anywhere near here.

I cannot let them see the real me, lost at sea.

I'll build my walls tall

So they'll all be blind

And will never find

This flaw behind this wall.

I'll be lost for none to find.

I'm hiding my secrets in this,

Lost to die but I'm still alive.

I am the shadow

No one can see or hear.

I can hide

Forever behind this wall.

I'll be lost for none to find.
