[Intro] [Soft acoustic guitar arpeggio, subtle piano notes] [Verse 1] I've got a melody where my heartbeat should be A rhythm in my veins for only me to see I play it for the silence, for the four empty walls I sing it to the ceiling, waiting for it to fall I've written every secret on a page of dotted lines Turned all my lonely hours into imperfect rhymes [Pre-Chorus] And I know, I know you're busy But if you'd just... [Chorus] Listen to my songs, just for a minute or two I promise there's a world I built inside for you They're bleeding out my soul, they're everything I am And I just need to know they're more than just a scam I'm not asking for the world, I'm not asking for the stage I just need someone to turn and listen to this page [Verse 2] I see you nod your head, but the light is in your eyes You're hearing just the noise, you're missing the surprise The chord that took me hours, the line I broke my pen You're scrolling on your phone and listening to it end I see you in the hallway, humming a stranger's tune While my words are sitting dying in an empty afternoon [Pre-Chorus] And I know, I know it's crowded But if you'd just... [Chorus] Listen to my songs, just for a minute or two I promise there's a world I built inside for you They're bleeding out my soul, they're everything I am And I just need to know they're more than just a scam I'm not asking for the world, I'm not asking for the stage I just need someone to turn and listen to this page [Bridge] [Music swells with emotional strings and gentle drums] Is there a frequency that only I am on? Screaming out a signal 'til the signal's gone? I'm not a ghost, I'm right here, can't you see? This isn't just a noise, it's the fucking core of me! [Guitar Solo] [Emotional, melodic guitar solo that builds in intensity] [Final Chorus] [Full band arrangement with powerful, belted vocals and backing harmonies] SO LISTEN TO MY SONGS! FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE OR TWO! I PROMISE THERE'S A WORLD I BUILT INSIDE FOR YOU! THEY'RE BLEEDING OUT MY SOUL, THEY'RE EVERYTHING I AM! AND I JUST NEED TO KNOW I'M MORE THAN JUST A SCAM! I'M NOT ASKING FOR THE WORLD! (I'm just asking for a chance!) I'M NOT ASKING FOR THE STAGE! I JUST NEED SOMEONE TO HEAR ME... JUST PLEASE... TURN DOWN THE STATIC RAGE... [Outro] [Music cuts back to solo acoustic guitar] Listen to my songs... [Voice cracks, almost a whisper] ...someone... ...anyone... [Single, final guitar chord rings out and fades to silence]
