I feel empty I'm self aware Without a self Like static noise Instead of heart beats It's like when a little girl Is told for the first time That you can hear the ocean singing From inside a sand-coated conch shell But when she presses it to her ear It's just a pale echo inside Not a melodic ocean heartbeat Just an empty ringing I suppose that's what people think of me They expect i'll be a sweet song Only to be let down Because I'm just background noise
