You Don't Hear Me Yo

I feel like I'm talking loud
and saying nothing

Meaningless words
falling on deaf ears

CAN YOU HEAR THE WORDS COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH?

Broken promises, shattered dreams,
patronizing words, unanswered questions

Saying what you think I want to hear
blank stare

My silence isn't meant to be golden

Life deferred, the faith is strong
have to push on

I've lost my voice and my tear ducts are dry
my barren arms tell the story

It's just me, myself and I
cause you don't hear me yo!
