parents not listening
unheard over yelling and screaming
set in their ways
don't understand and don't try
what we say isn't good enough
what we do isn't good enough
accomplishments turn to garbage
when our parents won't smile
or lift their eyes
they're not noticing
we're turning away
we're running away
we do these things to draw attention
Don't pay attention to what's
wasting away
We stand right in front
Might as well be in the back
'cause friends and family are blind
