Words on a Screen

Words on a Screen

Alone and floating drifting aimlessly Can I not be Another sailor lost at sea? They're asking in these bottles sent to me How can I be free? How did you find that special key? Assembling the pieces in my hands I've come to understand I'm not a man no 'Cause I'm just words on a screen Ignored and barely seen My happiness is fading but I keep on aiding I'm just words on a screen Can't hear why I'm saying I'm screaming out my words but still I can't be heard Unknowingly they hold to me A mirror that they cannot see I chip but I refuse to shatter They need to know that they still matter My mind is breaking just like theirs But I need to show that someone cares As long as their life's on the line I cannot choose to give up mine You're looking for an answer asking "please" Begging on your knees To a doctor who's diseased The change in life it has to start with you You gotta see it through I've been looking for it too But I'm just words on a screen Ignored and barely seen My happiness is fading but I keep on aiding I'm just words on a screen Can't hear what I'm saying I'm screaming out my words but still I can't be heard Each message brings me further To the fate in which they murmur Self Hating Degrading Depression Draining me each session But every time I hear them say They wanna throw their life away I have to show them it's okay I need to show them it's okay If they break I know I'll break too It's my twisted broken point of view We'll fix it we'll make it together But all they see are the letters But I'm aching I'm bleeding pleading Forsaking the things that I'm needing Reminding myself to contain The drain of the pain in my brain It's rushing through all of my veins Detained by the strain of these chains I hate that it's who I became I can't let their life be the same But I'm just words on a screen Ignored and barely seen My happiness is fading but I keep on aiding I'm just words on a screen They can't hear why I'm saying I'm screaming out my words but still I can't be heard I'm just words on a screen But maybe I can sew the seam Thread the needle in-between I'm just words on a screen But maybe I can make it seem Like there's some hope in this bad dream
