Why must I keep trying to connect with you?
How can I keep talking and getting nowhere but down?
Why is this something I keep going through?
You'd think I'd be immune to it by now

I know how different I am
If it's not obvious enough I continue to point out out
You seem to be oblivious to my pain, like an ostrich with it's head in the sand
I find myself jealous, I want to be where you are now

Look at all the lovely people
You can look but don't you touch
Sew my mouth shut with a rusty needle
Before I scare you further by saying too much

Stay silent and strong
Take the plunge
Let the hostility melt like a snowflake on your tongue
Stop trying to act so tough

Words that I would be a hypocrite to believe
That doesn't stop you from uttering them
So many people so little time to please
Any attempt at closure prevented
