Can you hear me?
i’m screaming
sobbing
but it’s all inside my head
Nobody can hear me
I am laughing
grinning
everything is fine
I Am Fine
People assume I’m joking
We all laugh it off
Our generation is all the same
“ I’m actually really depressed”
_ Damn that sucks _

“ I need Help”
_ Bro don’t we all _

“I’m thinking about killing myself”

Can You Hear Me?
You see me
Don’t you?
You know of me
Don’t you?
We exist in the same world
The same courtly
Same state
Same city
Same school
Same grade
Same age
We’re connected that much
Aren’t we?
We’re connected by the world
Maybe even fate
We talk
Don’t we?
I support you
Don’t I?
I do my best to be the right friend
Don’t I?
So I know you can see me
I know you’re capable of seeing
I know you’re capa...
Can You Hear Me
Can you hear me
Fear me
Bring me sound of your luscious lips
I can’t wait for the sound of crisp and yearn for the banter of an unscripted game show
Entertainment that flows of fame
No body blames or is tame or lame
Whist the scence is on a plane
Every body listens to the quiet pistons...
The Lyrics of History
Weaving between the layers of mortality,
Like a painting griping hold of its muse
And the muse his painter,
The threads of time wrap my silhouette.
I swim through oceans of significant occurrences
And remember on a boat on a lake
Sat the beautiful Angel of Music,
And her songs’ eternal glory.
As her words dance in my brain,
Like Anna’s Dying Swan soothing my soul
Reminding me of the fragility...
Can You Hear Me?
There's nothing to hear
maybe your own fear
Its but with little doubt
you'll want to shout
to get away from your mind
and the whispers that follow behind
but they're not what you should dread
that's in your own head
so listen closely
you'll find it unholy
the voices are here
they're oh so near
but if you can hear me
don't you flee
help is coming
just wait for the humming
the silence is quieter now...
Can You Hear Me Father?
Can you hear me father?
I call out your name to the sky
My heart yearns for your grace
My skin is sinned laced
Can you hear me father?
Soul hidden beneath the crimson shell
My passport has been filled by my actions
Love filled blood paid my pass from hell
Can you hear me father?
I don’t own the wheel to my own suit
Walls tumble from decietful eyes
Lose my throne from whispered lies
Can you hear...
Can You Hear Me?
Can you hear me?
When I ask you of her name
You always get a call
I try to speak to you
Wishing to spend more time together
But it seems you can’t hear at all.
Can you hear me?
I feel unimportant
You never look my way
When I speak,
Never cherish my words
The way you’re meant to.
No, you don’t even acknowledge me
It seems you can’t hear at all.
Can you hear me?
That other girl you can.
It seems...
Hearing Past the Noise
Can you hear me?
I speak and you nod
And I laugh
And we keep on
But can you hear me?
You listen as I let forth
All my thoughts and interests
Into a loud buzzing goop
That you can barely understand
Can you hear what I really mean?
My mind won't let me
Interpret the thoughts
That race and rage and
Buzz and scream for attention
Can you understand what even I may not?
Waves of thought crash
Aga...
Come Back
I scream and cry
But it only echos all
Around the empty room
I shout out your name
Hoping someone
Was listening
But I was met with
The never ceasing
Silence
I’m on the floor
Beside you, shaking
Your shoulders
My sobs are like a river
Meeting an ocean
Always flowing
I check your pulse
But the only heart that
Is still beating is mine
Don’t let go
Not yet not now
Please
Aren’t you li...
