Story Behind The Song
I saw someone at a party who did not seem into it. When I asked if they were alright they just nodded but looked anything but alright. I wrote the song in first person because it worked better.

Lyrics
Sunset
The sun is dipping lower
On the horizon
Insects are welcoming
The coming of the night
I?m in the corner
With my hands around my knees
I?ve got a miniature profile
I?m staying out of sight
The party started about
Half an hour ago
People are arriving
Drinks are flowing free
Music is beating
Through the walls and floors and doors
I can feel its rhythm
In every part of me
There is solace in a bottle
And solace in sleep
There is comfort in knowing
The company you keep
Somebody sees me
Asks me if I?m doing alright
I nod my head in agreement
But I?m just being polite
In every part of me
I feel a part of it
I feel out of it
Don?t want to deal with it
Deal with it
I?m dangled in silence
Sound has deafened me
Blinded by a light
That only I can see
People are friendly
And I see their point of view
I just don?t see how it can
Ever relate to me
I?m still in here
It?s so still in here
No way out of here
Out of here
