Whitechapel - Orphan Lyrics

It's just the way it is
How did I find myself to be so pitiful and vulnerable
And I lay my head upon an empty heartbeat
I'm alone and I'm miserable

It's just the way that it is and it's hopeless now
I'll never leave the prison inside my head
No one will ever understand the way it feels
To shut out the emotion that drives me back to you

Is that your voice that I hear
Is that the touch that I had once feared
Is that the way that you look now
Is this what we are

Cynical ole me, beckoning for company
An illusion that I dream of in a nightmare
What do I care if you're here and there's nothing left
Inside of your hollow shell
I'm still alone, I'm still miserable
Is there hope somewhere in this case of flesh we call our home
I don't feel it
Mother, father please go back to sleep
I can't bare to see you barely alive
We're all alone, we're all miserable

Forget my voice
Forget my eyes
My heart is content now to betray my insides

It's just the way that it is and it's hopeless now
I'll never leave the prison inside my head
No one will ever understand the way it feels
To shut out the emotion that drives me back to you
