I Don't Know Anyone Here
Navigating the Sea of Strangers
Lyrics
I don't know anyone here
I feel unfamiliar with everyone present.
So I'll just stand in the corner
I'll stay alone in a corner.
Drinking overpriced beer
I'll drink expensive beer.
I don't think this song could go on much longer
The song seems like it's about to end.
I'll pretend that I can read in the dark
I'll pretend to read in low light.
Wishing that someone would Motion to me
I hope someone invites me over.
And whisper a joke in my ear
I want someone to share a joke with me.
But I don't know anyone here
I still don't know anyone here.
Why did I come here at all?
I question my decision to attend.
Where my skin couldn't be thinner
I feel exposed and vulnerable.
My unfortunate haircut and the ill-fitting shirt
My appearance is unfortunate.
I need more smoke and less mirrors
I need a distraction from reality.
I'll pretend that I am here for the band
I'll pretend I'm here for the music.
And imagine that someone is holding my hand
I'll imagine someone supporting me.
Someone I'd promise to call
A person I'd commit to contacting.
Oh why did i come here at all
Why did I come here?
Life goes on and on all around me
Life continues around me.
As I return to where nobody found me
I retreat to solitude.
Invisible boy to invisible man
I feel unnoticed and insignificant.
Catch me catch me if you can
Try to catch me if you can.
How did this all come to be?
Reflecting on how things unfolded.
Who checked the box that said lonely one
Someone acknowledged being lonely.
And what is the origin of me?
Questioning the roots of my existence.
Is it possible I'm not the only one
Wondering if others share my experience.
In a world full of strangers the problem is clear
In a world of strangers, our fears are the issue.
We have nothing to fear but the things that we fear
We fear the things we fear.
We come into this life all the same but, my dear
We all enter life the same way.
On the day I was born I just simply appeared
Birth is a simple appearance.
Crying I don't know anyone here
I'm here, but I still don't know anyone.
