lyrics

The immigrant opens shop, his family worlds away
The small town librarian throws her dress away

You question why
Dont want to try to change your life, change your mind
You'd rather die then multiply their type

Cause sometimes we get so lonely we could scream
And Sometimes we disregard our self-esteem

The old man greets visitors, they come but never stay
The street orphan combs his hair, dream girl feet away

Hopeles at times, drowning mimes
Your static lives, static minds
They get you by without the lows or highs

Cause sometimes we almost forget we're alive
Sometimes the motivation tank runs dry
When the days go by sometimes we lose our way
Sometimes its ok

Open your ears, can you hear the lonely ones screaming?
Across the room, a crowded room, the screams are all silenced by conversing fools.
