Is Anyone Listening?

Hello
Is anyone there
Are they listening
Hello
Hello

Hey you better run
Hey you better hide
We don't anyone to get a look inside
Of your head
Of your mind
They might get the wrong idea and try
To lock you up
To put you away
To send you upriver
Or ship you downstate
The thoughts in your brain
Stream like rain
Sometimes they are filled with pain
Things hit you from a long time ago
They cause angst and anguish
Will they ever go
Away
Who knows
But the show
Must go on
Gotta put my best
Acting face on
If I smile just right
Snd I keep my mouth shut
Then no one will know
Exactly what's going on in my head
Taking over my brain
Running away like a runaway train
Insecurity mixed with obscurity
Will anyone remember me
When I'm dead and gone
When I fade out like the beats of this song

Is anyone there
Hello hah
Does anyone care
No ah
Can you really hear me
Hello hah
Does anyone care
No ah
Is anyone there
Hello hah
Does anyone care
No ah
Can you really hear me
Hello hah
Does anyone care
No ah

Shhhh be quiet
They might be listening
Did they just knock
They wanna know what's missing
Don't open the door
Don't look out the window
Don't let 'em view inside your soul
Keep 'em on the outside
Never let 'em know
That your thoughts are really strange
And they're really messy
No one will get you if you let them see
The way you operate
See it's really confusing
Which trap door
Are you choosing
And how will it be
Abusing
Your sense of self and your worth and your value
Are you all alone in this experience
Do others feel the same and you're just not hearing it
That might be the case that might be true
But it doesn't feel safe to let them see you
So keep the door locked
Bolt it up tight
And just pretend everything's alright
We'll sneak out
In the middle of the night
We'll be long gone
Into the distance
Before the sun is bright

Is anyone there
Hello hah
Does anyone care
No ah
Can you really hear me
Hello ha
Does anyone care
No ah
Is anyone there
Hello hah
Does anyone care
No ah
Can you really hear me
Hello ha
Does anyone care
No ah

It's definitely not
Safe out there
You're better off wearing tin foil on your hair
That way nobody knows what you're thinking
They can't see how you're sinking
You need a lifeboat
You need a rescue
But you wouldn't take the hand that could save you
Cause that would mean you'd have to let 'em in
And then they could judge
They could see within
The halls of your brain
The valleys of your mind
And then
What would they find
If they looked really close
If they peeked under the shadows
If they lifted up the rocks
Would they find a tinderbox
Would they a man
Ready to explode
Would they understand
This episode
No let's keep it to ourselves
Let's play it really close
Let's just bid them goodbye
Adios
