Alone
by Period 5

And through it all I know I am alone
but it's hard to realize
when you're sky high fighting off the space ships: 
a goal without a plan

Is just a wish...a coincidence is a bridge for people who try
It requires more courage to suffer than to die
we all play the same game with different levels
and we go through the same hell with different devils

If there is a broken plate
it'll never be the same - the shape would be
but how it looks like will never all
bruised and bloody their eyes filled with tears
no matter the man, we all wear masks
either on our face or over
our hearts

Let it go
the past is in
the past
perfection is an awful prison 
which shackles the soul and chains the spirit
in shame and despair

Weep
little lion man
you'll never be what is in your heart
don't trust an angel because
the devil
was once an angel

Without the dark the light won't show
Remember that you're not alone
