Unknown

I walk through the world, a ghost in the crowd
Surrounded by faces, but I'm not found
They speak in a language I can't understand
While I reach for something no one can comprehend

I smile in the silence, but no one can hear
The words that I whisper, the things I fear
I'm screaming inside, but I hide it so well
Trapped in my mind, in this lonely hell

I'm lonely, but not alone
A stranger in the world I call home
I search for a place where I belong
But I don't fit, and I don't feel strong
They don't see me, don't know my name
I'm lost in the echoes of my own pain
Lonely, but never alone
'Cause I'm with myself, but I'm still unknown

(Aah aah aah ooh)
(Aah aah ooh)

They chase after dreams, but I run from the same
What they call success, I just feel the shame
Their hearts are tethered, but mine's untamed
I long for a world that's never been named

I talk, but they listen without hearing me
They look, but their eyes never see
I crave a connection that they cannot give
I want to be understood, to finally live

I'm lonely, but not alone
A stranger in the world I call home
I search for a place where I belong
But I don't fit, and I don't feel strong
They don't see me, don't know my name
I'm lost in the echoes of my own pain
Lonely, but never alone
'Cause I'm with myself, but I'm still unknown

And in the quiet of my mind
I wonder if anyone would ever find
The pieces of me scattered and torn
In a world where I feel so forlorn

I'm lonely, but not alone
A stranger in the world I call home
I search for a place where I belong
But I don't fit, and I don't feel strong
They don't see me, don't know my name
I'm lost in the echoes of my own pain
Lonely, but never alone
'Cause I'm with myself, but I'm still unknown

I'm here, but invisible, fading away
Longing for someone who might someday say
I see you, I know you, I feel what you feel
But until then, I'm just too surreal
