Melting Alive

I walk these crowded streets alone
A shadow cast, but not my own
They look right through me every day
Like I was never meant to stay
A glimpse of memory, no desires
A name erased, a flag unfurled
Buried under all their fears
A silent scream no one hears

Look around, screaming crowd, nobody listens
Frozen eyes, broken lives
We are melting alive

My name forgotten on the walls
Of places where no echo calls
Invisible, but not untrue
I bleed the same red blood as you
The chains of silence cuts too deep
Even shadows need a place to sleep

Whispers in the static, fading sound
I'm lost where silence gathers round
Eyes avert, they cross the line
Pretending that I am doing fine

Look around, screaming crowd, nobody listens
Frozen eyes, empty skies
We are melting alive

Melting alive
(We're melting alive)
We are melting alive
