Lyrics

Is There Anybody Out There?

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was born as a bastard

No father, no master

A shadow in silence

Left searching for answers

Put up for adoption

And left with no option

Another kid fostered

To fester forgotten

Take a look into these desperate eyes

As they’re cast into the wretched hive

But I ain’t going down alone

Is there anybody out there?

Anybody listening to me?

Is anybody else scared?

The paranoia drops me to my knees

Does anybody feel lonely?

Disconnected from the things I see

Is there anybody out there?

Anybody out there just like me?

I’m choking on these words and I can’t breathe

Now I stand as a father

To men with no honor

Ashamed of the racists

I used to call brothers

Cause no flag can mean bravery

When bloodied by slavery

The rebel, a devil, disguised as a savior

And the sickening feeling in the air

Is the fear to speak that no one dares

So will I stand here all alone?

Is there anybody out there?

Anybody listening to me?

Is anybody else scared?

The paranoia drops me to my knees

Does anybody feel lonely?

Disconnected from the things I see

Is there anybody out there?

Anybody out there just like me?

I’m choking on these words and I can’t breathe

Live my life like I’ll die tonight

Dream like I’ll live forever

I have roared at the world for years

Doesn’t anybody hear me?

This burden suffered, I’ve paid the cost

Not all who wander are lost

Is there anybody out there?

Anybody listening to me?

Is anybody else scared?

The paranoia drops me to my knees

Does anybody feel lonely?

Disconnected from the things I see

Is there anybody out there?

Anybody out there just like me?

I’m choking on these words and I can’t breathe
