The Volume Is Turned Way Down Low
Inspired by a moving conversation in a show. Some people appear incapable of expressing or feeling emotions. But, oftentimes they shut themselves down because of trauma.
The volume is turned way down low

You may not be normal
But normal doesn't really exist
You do have human feelings
They're just a lot more difficult to access
The volume is turned way down low
You just have to listen more carefully
I know that you can experience love
I know that you are capable of empathy
Don't dismiss the hands of friendship
Some people are capable of being trusted
Remember that normal is an illusion
And that everyone needs someone
Tune in to your deepest heart
Learn to detect the movement of the dial
Over time you'll turn up the volume
And become more acquainted with human life
