Description
We are the ones that you scorn uponLook at us and see the joy is gone
We’re not the ones to blame
We’re not the ones with shame
You just shun us as if we’re pawns
The glint that shone bright in your eye
Caught my attention as you walked by
So we all just sat and stared
Yet you still refuse to care
Wonder why we all choose to die?
Every now and then we fake a smile
Yet you still ignore us all the while
With razor blade’s in our hands
And heads buried in the sand
You forget about us like a misplaced file
Blood on our faces, and arms cut open
We gave up on trying and on hoping
Do you finally see us now?
As you ask yourselves how
Lifeless bodies dishevelled and broken
You are the reason. You were the cause
Look all around there is no clause
Now you see what you’ve done
Are you happy? ‘Cos you won
Sorry for putting your life on pause
So next time you see us sitting alone
Stop where you are, and hang up the phone
Acknowledge us with a smile or a wave
Give us some recognition that we crave
And keep in mind that this is what we call home
