You want to be like them
Spend your life trying to
You run alongside the herd
Calling...and they don't hear.

They never notice you
They never acknowledge you
Are you even alive to them?
Calling...and they don't hear.

Your legs tangle and you fall.
Your blood stains the dark earth.
You cry out but you're left there
Calling...and they don't hear.

Like hearty gazelles, they leap over you.
You're wounded...still hoping they will notice.
If they do, they don't care..and life slowly slips away.
Calling...
And
They
Don't
Hear.
