[Intro]

As far as I can tell

This planet has a population of one

I’m stuck alone in this hell

Half alive, daily tryin’ to survive


[Verse 1]

I traverse this land, in search of a better place, but to do so is dangerous

There’s things in here, they’re everywhere, and they are made to look like a person

But they are not people like me

That’s just what they want me to believe

I don’t know what they are madе of

If on the inside they’rе like a robot

Or some kind of creature, all I know

Is that they are killing machines

They resemble me on the outside, but they are no human beings

They're just part of this harmful environment

They look like me to trick me into approaching them

And once I’m close enough they will finally hurt me

Even if I leave them alone, some will actually hunt me

Trying to find where I am, what I did or what I said

Use it as a battle cry to call for more to join them

The more they are, the stronger they become

I wish I could fight along somebody, but I am only one


[Chorus]

I’m by myself in this hostile environment

Didn’t find a lover, didn’t find any friend

There’s only these creatures looking human like me

But they are not people, these are killing machines

I hobble forward with this burden on my back

I’m just trying to survive in this desolate land

These things try to look human, but I know they pretend

This world is nothing but a hostile environment


[Verse 2]

And I know these things are evil and I should not believe

When they try to look friendly, like they might be like me

I know I should never let my guard down and never trust

Must not let these creatures fool me, to be alert is a must

But to live like this is a constant nightmare

Relentlessly on edge in this hostile environment

And I am so tired, and I feel so weak

So alone in this world, I cannot even sleep

So once in a while, I do make the mistake

To let someone get close, and believe it’s not fake

Wishing I had a companion, my desperation makes me gullible

Lets me believe I found someone, when I thought it impossible

And so I let this person in, thinking we’ll help each other from now on

Maybe I won’t have to be alone anymore, in this barren cold world

To you I open my arms wide

I want to trust you, I expose my inside

And when we are close the most

That’s when things go for the worst

The creature reveals itself

Stabs me in the heart, and rips off my flesh

Hurt deep, I bleed, I cry, and I crumble to the ground again

How could I have believed one of those things was a friend?

But the thing that hurts me the most is the renewed realization

That there’s nobody else here, just me and these creatures

The re-established notion that I’ll forever be alone

If that’s the only way, then I’d rather be gone


[Chorus]

I’m by myself in this hostile environment

Didn’t find a lover, didn’t find any friend

There’s only these creatures looking human like me

But they are not people, these are killing machines

I hobble forward with this burden on my back

I’m just trying to survive in this desolate land

These things try to look human, but I know they pretend

This world is nothing but a hostile environment


[Outro]

There are no human beings in this world, just me

This hostile environment is the only thing I can see

It's harmful to me like acid melting my skin

It will always be this way, and it always has been
