Nobodies

It's getting cold out
Better turn the heater up and
Slow down, stay home if you can
And there's snow now
So he's bundled up from head to toe now
At the side of the road

Seconds turn to hours as I fumble for change
Praying for the light to stay
Maybe he might drink it but that's how I was raised
Hits home when they're your age

All these nobodies nobody notices here
Waiting on someone's to read them
Out of hundreds of stories they feed in our ears
You'd think there'd be one on the no ones
Cuz surely they matter to someone
They're somebody's nobody
Glad that I'm somebody
God, that could be me

It's getting dark out
Better turn the TV on and
Numb out, they're all out of pills
Gotta pay out
She can't afford to lose this scrap of home now
On top of the bills

Might be unemployed soon she's been counting the days
And no one wants to take the blame
Business is restricted but we'll make sure you're paid
Just not a living wage

All these nobodies nobody notices here
Thinking that nobody needs them
Out of hundreds of stories that bleed in our ears
Where are the ones on the no ones
Why don't they matter to someone
They're somebody's nobody
Why aren't they somebody
How are they different than me

Politics and instant clicks creating vague attention spans
Courses taught by hypocrites to form kids in world leadership
The kind that lies through perfect teeth and spits on true democracy
Let's all leave the charity to those who profit off the weak

All these nobodies nobody notices here
Praying for someone to see them
Out of hundreds of stories that scream in our ears
This is the one on the no ones
Cuz everyone matters to someone
They're somebody's nobody
Everyone's somebody
They're no different than me
