Shell of a Man - Song and Dance Lyrics

I don't want to be alone
But I am always looking for the chance
Don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
But I would rather avoid the song and dance
Don't want to be alone
The world out there is no place for a guy like me
Would rather stay at home than run the risk of being seen
Don't want to be alone

Cause when you're out there
There's no place to run
You can't escape
You can't hide
You can't find your way home
Surrounded by your friends
Your nameless, faceless friends
Like leaches draining your battery until there's nothing left
Can't help getting the feeling that you're not really there
You don't mean anything
Can't help getting the feeling that you're not really there
You mean nothing to them

I don't want to be alone
But I am always looking for the chance
Don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
But interactions induce my trance
Don't want to be alone
These conversations barely propped up
I don't want any part
Don't want to be alone
I thought I told you I wanted to be alone
From the start
Don't want to be alone

Cause when you're out there
There's no place to run
You can't escape
You can't hide
You can't find your way home
Surrounded by your friends
Your nameless, faceless friends
Like leaches draining your battery until there's nothing left
Can't help getting the feeling that you're not really there
You don't mean anything
Can't help getting the feeling that you're not really there
You mean nothing to them

I don't want to be alone
But I am always looking for the chance
Don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
But I would rather avoid the song and dance
Don't want to be alone
The world out there is no place for a guy like me
Would rather stay at home than run the risk of being seen
Don't want to be alone
