Notice Me, Notice Me

Do you notice me, notice me,
When I’m feeling down?
Do you listen to me, listen to me,
When I am crying out?

I wish to speak, I wish to talk,
Yet words of nothingness spill from my lips.
I wish to cry, I wish to wail,
As if my emotions have been playing skips.

But do you know,
How hard, how hard it is to speak?
My weakness is showing now, my anger,
As if my world has fallen oblique?

Why don’t you notice me, notice me,
My pain is flowing from my words.
Why don’t you listen to me, listen to me,
The tears I own flock by the herds.

Pooling down,
Draining my sanity,
Crying out,
Is this all in vanity, vanity?

Please.

Listen to me, listen to me,
A joke not, this is.
I love you, so listen, listen to me,
Do you know how I feel?

Worlds are crashing and we are breaking,
Bonds are slowly dying….

So why can’t you notice me, notice me?
Notice me no more….

Words that cut through me like a blade,
I’m bleeding out so why don’t you...
Hear me, hear me…
Look at me, look at me…
Listen to me, listen to me,
Notice me, notice me….

Notice me no more….

Why is speaking so hard?
To you, I cannot find the words,
They are submerging from the depths,
Why am I breaking so quickly now?

Bottled up anger,
It’s been coming out for some time now,
So why can’t you….

Love me, love me?
Do you still love me, love me?
‘Cause I need to know….

Calling out, calling out,
As if I am falling down, falling down.
Would you still catch me now, catch me now?
Because we’re no longer bound, this is how….

This is how it ends….

Why didn’t you notice me, notice me?
Save me, save me?
Believe in me, believe in you; believe that we…
Can survive?

Will we, will we,
When we lie down for the night to come,
When everything is all said and done and there’s not more bottled anger,
Will we, will we,

Die?
