Pariah
The children are running and happily screaming
Seemingly with nothing better to do
Shouting happy words with no meanings
Paying no attention to you
Tears cascade like rainwater
Down red and swollen cheeks
Hopes and dreams with them, drowning,
Down red and swollen cheeks
I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to
Hello
I'm their lies, living so you don't have to
Hello
Has no one told them someone's not breathing
Has no one told you you're not breathing
