Do I Mean Anything

Late night glow from a broken screen Post another piece of me nobody sees Got words in my chest like a storm in a cage But the silence screams louder on every page I gave them songs I gave them truth Every scar every ounce of proof But the numbers don’t lie they just fade away Like I never said a word anyway Yeah I show up I try I bleed in the lines But it feels like I’m talking to the dark sometimes Do I mean anything to anybody Or am I just there when they need somebody I shout into the void but it don’t reply Just echoes of me asking why I give my soul every melody But it fades out like it’s not meant to be Tell me, am I more than a passing ghost Or just a name that nobody knows Built a page just to give them the sky Forecast hope while I’m breaking inside Went live stayed strong tried to connect But 41 days and three views later what did I expect Two hundred ninety faces I know But none of them stop none of them show It ain’t about fame it’s just being seen Just one I hear you You know what I mean I ain’t asking for crowds just a voice back Just a sign that I’m not fading to black Do I mean anything to anybody Or am I just there when they need somebody I shout into the void but it don’t reply Just echoes of me asking why I give my soul every melody But it fades out like it’s not meant to be Tell me am I more than a passing ghost Or just a name that nobody knows Maybe I’m louder than they can hear Maybe I’m real in a world that’s unclear Maybe the silence ain’t what it seems Maybe I’m building something unseen Cause every line that I write is true Even if nobody’s listening through And maybe one day out of the blue Somebody hears me the way I needed to Yeah I mean something I gotta believe it Even when nobody stops to see it I’m more than the silence more than the doubt More than the numbers counting me out I give my soul and I won’t let go Even if I’m walking this road alone One day the world’s gonna hear me loud And I’ll sing these words to a broken crowd So if you hear this wherever you are Just know you mattered from the start
