No Signal

I woke up late, stayed in bed Too many thoughts inside my head Tried to move, but I felt slow Looked outside, but stayed below Coffee cold, same old jeans Life feels stuck behind the screen I smile a bit, then fade away No one asks if I'm okay No signal in my mind today I try to talk, but drift away I'm right here, but feel unseen Like a voice lost in between I try to laugh, I try to try But something breaks and I don't know why No bars, no light, no way to spin No signal, can't let you in Phone in hand, but I don't text I stare at names and second-guess I could say"hi", but what's the point? Feels like I'm stuck in my own noise People post their perfect days I scroll and scroll and look away They look happy, bright and loud I feel small inside the crowd No signal in my mind today I try to talk, but drift away I'm right here, but feel unseen Like a voice lost in between I try to laugh, I try to try But something breaks and I don't know why No bars, no light, no way to spin No signal, can't let you in If someone hears me, send a sign A little word, a little line I don't need the perfect phrase Just show me I'm not erased Mom said"smile", I said"sure" But it feels heavy, I'm not sure I walk slow, breathe real deep Try to calm what doesn't sleep Sometimes silence hurts the most Feels like I'm a missing post Seen by all, known by none Like I'm here, but almost gone No signal in my chest tonight I'm reaching out with fading light Still I sing, still I believe Someone out there's like me I try to laugh, I try to try And maybe that alone is why I'm still here, though lost within No signal But I'll begin
