Alienation

[Verse 1] Surrounded by faces, a sea of humanity Yet I feel so alone, a stranger in this sea Disconnected and lost, adrift in the crowd Trapped in my own mind, my sorrow cries out loud [Chorus] Alienation, isolation Loneliness consuming my soul Adrift and unseen, a ghost in the machine Alone in this world, so far from home [Verse 2] Forced smiles and laughter, a facade all around While inside I'm dying, sinking without a sound Craving connection, yearning to belong But the more that I reach out, the colder grows the throng [Chorus] Alienation, isolation Loneliness consuming my soul Adrift and unseen, a ghost in the machine Alone in this world, so far from home [Bridge] Is there no escape from this aching solitude? Must I forever feel this deep, crushing mood? Surrounded by people, yet utterly alone Yearning for a hand to grasp, a heart to call my own [Chorus] Alienation, isolation Loneliness consuming my soul Adrift and unseen, a ghost in the machine Alone in this world, so far from home [keyboard solo] [Outro] Alone, alone, so terribly alone...
