Pariah

He walked along the lonely road
The only one he's ever known
So far away from everything
An empty song he starts to sing
As tears leave his blinded eyes
From masking pain he can't disguise
Of who and what he's meant to be
It's something no one else can see
He's so alone and so afraid
The mess he's in, the choice he made
But who he is and what he's not
He can't give what he hasn't got
For who would ever understand
The way the world falls through his hands
And how his life is upside-down
Much more than any laws allow
For who would want to face the truth?
He's just another wasted youth
What would they do? What might they say?
Why did he have to be this way?
He hasn't strength to turn the tide
Nowhere to run, no place to hide
Cat's out the bag. Train's at the station.
No turning back. No cancellation.
Who he was tore him apart
And only served to break his heart
He couldn't live to carry on
But that doesn't matter now - he’s gone
