Alone Surrounded

I feel so alone
Even when people are near
I never quite feel complete
I never feel as if I'm solid
You can sit and talk with me all day long
This void within me still sings this song
I remember that complete feeling so long ago
Nothing I can do can numb this pain
I truly believe this won't go away
I once had a time not alone
But all of those times are now gone
All I have left is a three letter word
I feel that my life is now done
How can it get so much worse
When you don't have anything left
Sorrow takes away everything and so much more
I thought it was all gone
Now I know how wrong I was
This possessed viral decay keeps on spreading
It doesn't know any morals
It destroyed what I was
I'm watching it spread
I can't help my friends
Where is this god
'Cause there's nothing left
