My Planet - by Erik Smith
Laying in my bed
I stare at the ceiling
There's nobody here
I can't stand this feeling
I know I'm alone
I know they're all gone
I know where I am
I know what I've done
Watching out the window
There's nothing outside
The trees sit motionless
Still no life in sight
Companionship, I barely knew
Silent pain I now see through
Walking down the aisle
Eating old merchandise
Looking everywhere I go
Yet everything is empty
Blood stains on the floor, the walls
I remember god's downfall
When the insects disappeared
Remember all the vanishing
Why was I left here
Looking at the empty sea
The birds no longer here
All life has left so long ago
Everyplace is now my home
Unlocked doors and picture whores
Remaining life resides on tape
If I found anything
Anything alive
Would I try and care for it
Or would I try and make it die
All the thoughts I held so dear
Way back then while ripe with fear
Never thought they'd disappear
Fill my life so full with tears
I remember screaming out all year
Nothing can stop me now
And now the pain is all too clear
I hope life finds it's way back here
It's not surprising
Not to me
Doesn't surprise me the slightest bit
Nothing has stopped me now
