Am I Alone?
Painted white faces,
Dilated eyes,
Brightly colored laces,
Darkly colored skies,
Walking up the street,
The flickering over lights,
The ground falls beneath my feet,
I'm also scared of heights.
Are you there,
Are you not?
Is that a glare,
Is that rot?
I see you then I don't,
In the dark I'm alone,
I'm alone,
I'm alone.
Shiny hair,
Big red nose,
Slender fingers,
My blood just froze,
Go away,
Leave me here,
Leave today,
Don't sense my fear.
I am there,
I am not,
I can see,
I cannot,
I see you then I don't,
In the dark I'm alone,
I'm alone,
Am I alone?
Yellow teeth,
Scary laugh,
What is hiding underneath?
Color here,
Color there,
There is color everywhere,
I can't feel,
I can't see,
Something's coming over me.
We are here,
We are there,
We are nowhere,
Where's that stare,
The one that follows,
Me everywhere.
In the dark I'm alone,
I'm not alone,
I'M NOT ALONE.
