A small child screams and they all turn round,
Captive attention for a simple frown.
A teenager bleeds and nobody sees,
I think its time to pay attention to me.

Stifled screams mixed with broken glass,
Everybody wondered, but nobody asked.
Standing in the middle of this everyday,
He's finally decided they can have it their way.

Six feet of rope and the words cut deep,
Whoever you are you don't wanna be me.
Lost in a world where nobody cares,
***** this life its to hard to bear.

Black shoes dangling from an open closet,
Trouble at home and hes finally lost it.
Headlines screaming of hate and rage,
Nobody's found him for thirteen days.

Finally at peace with the graveyards silence,
A welcomed break from the former violence.
The preachers preaching of what went wrong,
And heavens singing the get lost song.

Over a thousand kids have all given up,
Problems with society , enough is enough.
A teenager bleeds and nobody sees,
I think its time to pay attention to me.
