[Revised]

When I walk into a room
There is no one around
When I step outside my door
I never hear a sound
When I sleep inside my bed
I never even dream
When I turn on the TV
It's blank, or so it seems

I am pushed into a corner
I am left holding the door
I am always interrupted
I am trampled on the floor

Existing to survive
Persist to be alive
Desiring recognition
Detesting isolation

As I drive along the road
It's empty as can be
As I wander here at home
Myself, I only see
As I call upon the phone
No answer to receive
As I shout out to the Lord
It’s me, who's not believed

Shunned by silent voices
I was washed upon a shore
I was there for no one else
And alone forever more

I existed to survive
Persisted to stay alive
Desired recognition
Detested isolation

I am no longer

"If this grand panaorama before me is what you call God... then God is not dead."

JCP...

Sounds like a get 'em rolling song...
and the resultant consequences
if one is not heeded.

You did well here...

Now stand up and sing it.

I’ve always wondered what “Poof, Up In Smoke” meant.
Now I have a concept, thanks to “The Death of Loneliness”.
