if you can hear me whoever you are

Another day,

I'll try and silence my mind

I’ll push through the panic

Breathe through the chaos

I'll lie through conversations

And everyone around me

Will pretend they're okay

With a life like this

Repeating the rhythms of their despondent lives

This is just one more day at a time

Living between the people

With empty faces and worn out souls

I just need to hear someone say

There is more

Somewhere

This cannot be life

Every day I feel so disconnected

From everyone

Yet the desire to connect with anyone

Burns so deep inside me

Like the fire of a million suns
