It feels so empty standing here

Looking for approval

From an audience that never gave a damn

Is there anybody out there

That can at least pretend to care

For long enough to let me go

Back to lying to myself

Help me put the blinds back up

So I can block it out

When my words go so unnoticed

And my bleeding heart lies open

As everyone that passes walk on by

Only slowing to make sure

That there’s nothing on their shoes

They might have to stop and wipe off later

It feel so damn quixotic

Tilting at the windmills

Wishing there was someone out there

To make it worth my time

But the world marches on

And I’m left here in the silence

Making my own noise that goes unheard
