Concrete Jungles

We pass by houses every day and never see anyone coming out.
People are in there, but we never see them.

We drive our cars every day, and never stop to say hi to the ones next to us.
People are in there, but we never talk to them.

We walk to our office every day, and never stop to talk to the lady with glasses on the fifth floor.
People are everywhere, and we don't even realise.

We're alone, every second of the day.
Stuck in our own worlds,
Trapped in our own minds.

So why then, are we so scared of being alone?
So scared of dying without anyone beside us,
When we have spent our entire lives on our own?
