"Alone in a Crowded Room"
A Song by Yanea Nakanishi

~~~~~

I see someone standing to my right
(But how can I explain how they're not?)
I see someone standing to my left
(To me, just another vacant spot)

I look up, I look down
And I always have found

I'm trapped between floor and ceiling
No one evokes any feeling
To love someone is to assume
I'm alone in a crowded room

You can never tell just who is real
(So many live life playing a role)
You can never tell how people think
(Or who even cares for you at all)

I look up, I look down
But I never have found

Someone who really cares for me
Someone not just a fantasy
To love someone is to assume
I'm alone in a crowded room

Too much transparency
Need someone that I can see

I look up, I look down
Not one soul around

So many people standing here
But phantoms are all that is near
To love someone is to assume
I'm alone in a crowded room

All alone in a crowded room

Penned by my hand on the 20th of Glacian, in the year 369 AF.
