Neither Do I

Woke up late, again, today No one called, but that’s okay I stare at walls like they’re my friends At least they don’t pretend I tried to smile, it cracked my face Another joke in empty space My voice echoes, no one replies Guess even ghosts get bored sometimes No one cares, and neither do I I stopped asking reasons why Hope packed up and left last year I didn’t notice, wasn’t near No one cares, and I’ve learned to cope With cigarettes and killing hope They said, “Get out, go meet someone” I did — she left before day one I text myself just to pretend That someone might miss me again Even my shadow walked away Said, “I need light, you’re always grey” I laugh at pain, 'cause why not try? It’s not like tears will ever dry No one cares, and neither do I I stopped chasing every lie Dreams are junk I can’t afford I sold them all when I got bored No one cares, and that’s just fine I drink to kill what’s still alive I don’t need a helping hand They’d only drop me where I stand Don’t need love, don’t need light The dark feels honest, most nights No one cares, and neither do I No sweet words, no last goodbye I’ll rot here, same place, same time This song won't even fucking rhyme No one cares, and now I see— The last to leave was always me
