This Dark And Lonely Place

A song by Pedro Quedas

He says the right things
In his very right voice
Sure, he has no girlfriend
But that is just his choice
Everybody loves him
And he loves them right back
Oozing with charisma
That he never seems to lack
Always center stage
Always in demand
He has every single one of you
Eating off his hand
You wish you could be like him
He’s the sun in your sky
He’s the very perfect model
You model your life by

But when he comes home
His colorful life turns grey
He wishes he would find God
Just so that he could pray
He cries without a single tear
Running through his face
He just wants to escape
This dark and lonely place

He says the right things
But he doesn’t really care
He never had a girlfriend
He was never one to share
Everybody loves him
No one gets that he is sad
Faking the charisma
That he never really had
Always center stage
Always in demand
He has every single one of you
Biting off his hand
He wishes he could be like you
With no need to pretend
He stares into the bright lights
Wishing it all to end

And when he comes home
His colorful life turns grey
He wishes he would find God
Just so that he could pray
He cries without a single tear
Running through his face
Lost in his own head
This dark and lonely place

It’s all your damn fault
It’s your own cross to bear
Stop your fucking whining
‘Cause I don’t really care
You wanted to be famous
But you can’t stand the fame?
You chose this life, you coward
You have no else to blame
Now put on your best smile
That’s all I need to see
If I wanted to be sad
I would live my life through me
So start your little dance
The very best that you know
I’m feeling kinda bored
So just get on with the show

And when he comes home
His colorful life turns grey
He wishes he would find God
Just so that he could pray
He cries without a single tear
Running through his face
That’s the fate of his life
This dark and lonely place
