Friendless

At 40 i am friendless
A life built around work
My wife loves me but doesn’t understand me
My kids think i am sometimes odd
I’ve always been the box that needed to be unlocked
PreChorus 1
My dream was always to
Understand the key you’re screaming in oh oh
To never wear a mask to be whole
To own my own soul
I have wants
I have needs
On the edge
Of emptiness
Why am i
Friendless?
Am I a joke?
Am i a ghost?
At 40 i am friendless
A legacy built alone
No excuses obligations always met
Never left the troubled trenches
I’ve always been the one learning life’s lonely lessons
PreChorus 2
My dream was always to
Understand the key you’re screaming in oh oh
To never wear a mask to be whole
To own my own soul
I have wants
I have needs
On the edge
Of emptiness
Why am i
Friendless?
Am I a joke?
Am i a ghost?
Bridge
They ask why I have no friends?
But don’t think i’m lonely
Just because i’m alone
I have wants
I have needs
On this edge
Of emptiness
Why am I always
Friendless?
Am I a joke?
Am i a ghost?
Outro
1's a lonely number
But thru the many years
I carried the strength of my dad
So i was never alone
