Lifeline
I know it seems like I don't care, I promise I care too much.
But if i could paint the bigger picture it wouldn't be in black and white.
I can exist in a big crowd, but the silence is too loud to bare.
Cause I know that I stand alone and I can feel that give up time is near.
And I wonder what you would do if you see what I go through each night.
Pointing, fighting with the mirror,
cutting up things out of spite.
But I still go unnoticed, and my path is unfocused, and I know that you're busy but maybe you could carve out some time,
Cause i'm overboard, waiting for a lifeline.
I'm not lazy or useless I just can't seem to notice why the days wanna keep rolling by.
Cause i'm tired of fake things and all of the bad dreams and all of their careless goodbyes.
How can one feel so alone and be treated like a skipping stone,
Isn't your humanity breaking in time.
Cause im dragged in the outlands, please reach out for my hand
Oh god please throw me a lifeline.
