Silent Screams
Why can't anybody hear me?
I scream til my face turns blue
A lot of people stare at me
Like they're just passing thru
They act like I'm invisible
They don't hear a word I say
I keep calling out their names
But they just walk away
What was this thing I did
To make them all be so rude?
They act like they're hiding
Or maybe trying to elude
And even my own children
Acted like I just don't exist
I tried calling to my wife
But she would only resist
It must have been horrible
This thing that I did
Then nothing but darkness
As they closed the coffin's lid
