Am I desperate, Am I bored
Putting tension on my vocal chords
Screaming in an empty room
Needing the echo to have some proof
That something's there
And I don't care
That it's just sound waves
Bouncing without aim
Silence overtakes the noise
But I know better than to blame my voice
Or dream it was more masculine or sonorous;
Commanding attention
But all my words all go unheard
While my throat's burning
From the shouts I sing
And I hear how hoarse it all sounds
I want this to end
I want to go deaf
But I will not admit defeat
To these unfeeling walls of cold concrete
I take refuge on the floor,
Inhale deep, and start to scream once more
And I don't care that no one's there
To witness the sound
That I let forth now
Til my lungs gasp and my voice cracks
And my sight grows dim
And the silence wins
