Doesn't Anybody Notice?

by Jaime   Feb 1, 2006


Encased within my acting shell
Careful to deceive
I hide deep under the dark water
Too scared to come up and breathe
Over my heart lies a door but
Nobody dares to look

Yes, the hinges may be rusty, but the
Door knob just needs to be shook
Over and over I hold out my hand
But it is passed by once again
You see, I'm looking for just one shoulder
Not a whole damn army of men
All I need to be given is a tiny boat

That I'll start up on my own
Not like I'm completely helpless but
Sometimes I just need to fight it alone
Everybody smiles at me, I smile right back
Overlooked by them is the sincerity I lack
Doesn't anybody notice?
