In my mind worlds collide
I sneak by in the shadows where no one sees me. It's as if I'm not even there as I slink through the streets. The only time I'm noticed is when I have my guitar. The notes that emerge from it bring stunning music, I've been told. I just hope that's a good thing, as there's not really any other way for me to make people take notice of my existence.
Something inside me is gone
I wish I were noticed by more people, but so many just overlook me. My jet black hair, my dark clothing and my tattoos are things I thought might make me stand out, but to no avail. In my attempt to make friends, I obtain so few. I wish that would change, but I'm not sure that it will. All I really have left are my three brothers and my little sister, as well as perhaps one or two friends. My parents are gone, and I've become head of the household, having to take care of everyone.
Still I keeping going on
Taking care of my family is something I've done since I was sixteen, so it's still rather recent for me. I have to bring in as much money as I can, and I do this by working a job, as well as playing my music for money at events. Some days, I just wish it was easier for me to keep my family on their feet, since the others are too young to work. Matthew is the oldest of my siblings, but he's still only fifteen years old. Jason and Micheal are twins at the age of thirteen and Katie is only twelve. I just wish there was something more I could do for them. It's difficult trying to raise kids when you're only eighteen.
In my mind oceans divide
I don’t know where I belong
But still I keep holding on and on
I get by in a world with no conscience
By shouting it out and being anonymous
And the problem is you’re just like me
We get by in a world with no conscience
By shouting it out and being anonymous
Hello, hello, hello
