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
