Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
[Verse 2]
Is anybody there?
[Verse 3]
I was born as a bastard, no father, no master
A shadow in silence left searching for answers
[Verse 4]
Put up for adoption and left with no option
Another kid fostered to fester forgotten
[Verse 5]
Take a look into these desperate eyes
As they're cast into the wretched hive
[Verse 6]
But I ain't going down alone
Is there anybody out there?
Anybody listening to me?
Is anybody else scared?
The paranoia, drops me to my knees
Does anybody feel lonely?
Disconnected from the things I see
Is there anybody out there?
Anybody out there just like me?
I'm choking on these words and I can't breathe
[Verse 7]
Is there anybody there?
[Verse 8]
Now I stand as a father, to men with no honor
Ashamed of the racists I used to call brothers
[Verse 9]
'Cause no flag can mean bravery when bloodied by slavery
The rebel, a devil, disguised as a savior
[Verse 10]
And the sickening feeling in the air
Is the fear to speak that no one dares
[Verse 11]
So will I stand here all alone?
Is there anybody out there?
Anybody listening to me?
Is anybody else scared?
The paranoia, drops me to my knees
Does anybody feel lonely?
Disconnected from the things I see
Is there anybody out there?
Anybody out there just like me?
I'm choking on these words and I can't breathe
[Verse 12]
Live my life like I'll die tonight
Dream like I'll live forever
Live my life like I'll die tonight
Dream like I'll live forever
[Verse 13]
(Is there anybody out there?)
I have roared at the world for years (Is there anybody out there?)
Doesn't anybody hear me? (Is there anybody out there?)
This burden suffered, I've paid the cost (Is there anybody out there?)
Not all who wander are lost (Is there anybody...)
[Verse 14]
Is there anybody out there?
Anybody listening to me?
Is anybody else scared?
The paranoia, drops me to my knees
Does anybody feel lonely?
Disconnected from the things I see
Is there anybody out there?
Anybody out there just like me?
I'm choking on these words and I can't breathe
[Verse 15]
Is anybody there?
Is there anybody...
Is there anybody out there?
