It Seems

Alone in the room, TV's on
 Like the white screen, his life's gone
 A moving shell, a wandering ghost
 Oh, a shadow of a man who nobody knows
 He hardly speaks when you say his name
 He's just embarrassed to say
 Anything to anyone
 In his mind there's no way out
 He said he wants to die
 He wonders how anyone survives
 Being overlooked and
 Trite
 As seasons change
 And trees grow bare
 Reflection's a stranger
 Back it won't stare
 It's like everybody else
 Just too busy for his simple self
 His simple self
 He walks 13 blocks to the city's cross
 Puts dust on his knees
 Prays for a God that doesn't leave
 It's lonely here in hell
 He prays to be somebody else
 In his mind there's no way out
 He said he wants to die (No way out)
 He wonders how anyone survives
 Being overlooked and trite, yeah
 He said he wants to die
 And wonders why, he wonders how anyone survives
 Being overlooked and trite
 In the sand he sinks to his knees
 Mobile world around, just out of reach
 Tears rolling down his cheeks
 He has to believe, believe in himself
 Put up, hold out
 Break down, scream loud
 Wave fists, and shout
 It's done, it's done
 Stand tall, prove all
 Push on, now you see
 It's your life, it's your fight
 Live free, don't hide
 (You've gotta believe)
 He said he wants to die
 (You've gotta believe)
 (You've gotta believe)
 How anyone survives
 (You've gotta believe)
 You've gotta believe
