Admitting to the Crowd

I feel like someone has died Like a gloom settled on my shoulders And I’m lugging it along Seeing it everywhere I see

But I know that no one has died And I know that everyone is still here

And because I know what I know Separate from the world I feel like I deserve the gloom And though I think I understand
