PLEASE HEAR ME
You don't seem to understand
The truth I clutch in my hands
I never wanted to hurt you
I just wanted to show my virtue
It's the only thing I can do
I'm on my floor laying dead
My heart knows what's good in my head
But my tongue is cursed to be lost
And your ears get the wired cross
I speak nonsense
My cries are business
I am dying
I am striving
But you don't hear
I am dying
I'm not lying
But you don't hear
How can grow tulips
If I mix the water with acid
I want you to know how I feel
I don't care if I cry, scream or squeal
Just please believe me
And I want the world to know
The love I have to give and what I can show
But if I can't do that right
Where's the receipt for my life
Because I want a refund
I am dying
I am striving
but you don't hear
I am dying
I'm not lying
But you don't hear
My hands are black like coffey
Because I murdered my serenity
The green light tells me to go
Along a mile that's walked alone
They don't feel me
They're all busy
But I don't blame them
I am not scum
I am just dumb
And they're wrong about me
I am dying
I'm not lying
But they don't hear me
I rather cut my heart in half
And a picture for my epitaph
Dead on the ground kneeling
Better than living with this shaky feeling
It's dragging me down
Cutting my veins and taking me to town
I'm yelling with my head in a box
Point and laugh at the exhibit they do that lots
But I'm a clueless that's all I know
It's how I live but it's my biggest foe
I am so hopeless
Even if I had a new mistress
I would fumble and she would leave me
That's all I can see me being
I am dying
I am striving
But you don't hear
I am dying
I'm not lying
But you don't hear
Just let me cut to the chase
An outcast from the human race
If I live long enough like how I've been
Then I'll end up in solitary confinement
But who's to say that's a bad thing
I cause problems, I'll own up to it the troubled king
I don't care about reputation
I just want you to hear my proclamation
And everytime I see their eyes
My soul prays for my demise
You can't see what's inside my head
So let me write it to you instead
Why try to them how my feeling lingers
When I can count those listeners on my fingers
What's the reason to have a mouth and a heart
When the two work leagues apart
Let it be known that I do love
And I wish I didn't have to show that from above
I am dying
I am striving
But you don't hear
I am dying
I'm not lying
But you don't hear
