Sometimes I say things
and nobody listens
So I swallow the words that are stuck in between my teeth
while the echo of my expectations are left ringing in my ears
Sometimes I am here
but nobody sees me
So I sink into the walls as the shadow surrounding the room
while my eyes close and I view myself as a nail in chipped wallpaper
They walk away from me without realizing it. Going somewhere that I cannot go.
Do you want to walk away from yourself too?
Feeling like I am the message between the lines that nobody can read, I sleep fall asleep under the covers.

while my eyes close and I view myself as a nail in chipped wallpaper
They walk away from me without realizing it. Going somewhere that I cannot go.
Do you want to walk away from yourself too?
Feeling like I am the message between the lines that nobody can read, I sleep fall asleep under the covers.
