Matt Yates - Deaf

I can’t see why you haven’t found me.
I’m right in front of you.
I can’t see why you cannot hear me.
I’m screaming at you.
Am I invisible or just unpopular?
Are you evil or just human?
Do you think you’re better than me?
Or am I just better than you.
Does this make you happy?
Or am I just invisible to you? !

I’m screamin’ out for help but no one listens,
I’m crying to be heard.
There’s not much more you can do to me,
I’m already shattered.

I have the understanding
That I’m not like you
But why does that make me
Anymore less than you?
Can’t you see I’ve got dreams?
That have just the same priority,
As any one of yours. (I can dream, I can so dream)

I’m screamin’ out for help but no one listens,
I’m crying out to be heard.
There is somethin’ left inside of me,
Something that’s splintered.

So is this how it finishes?
Is this how ends?
My heart is outside your door,
To be happy it pretends.
My life will always be empty
It’s just the way it has to be

I’m tired of screaming ‘cause nobody listens,
There’s no point being heard.
There has always been emptiness,
And now nothing really matters.

Why can’t you hear?
Why can’t you see?
Why can’t you feel?

I’m gone.
