Gray Skies By: Noah Eaton 3/26/01 I’ve got icy hands held together in the sleeves of my coat Trying to warm up in the cold I can’t keep my head up as this loneliness pulls me down in insomnia Every day I still feel I’m growing stronger But the days seem so much longer I know these gray skies must break up, but I’m shivering in this dispiriting miasma I kind of feel I don’t have anybody, going on empty I feel I don’t have anybody ‘Cause I’m burdened down by gray skies And I’m anxious for the light And I can’t get that sad look out of my eyes I feel lonely One door has closed, the only ones I talk to have stepped out of my life Another door hasn’t opened yet, and I don’t know why I know people come and go with each of us, but I feel left behind Sometimes I feel I can’t move, and I need someone to keep me in touch All I want are people to talk to, I feel like the crutch I just hide myself under my hood of serenity just so I can cry I kind of feel I don’t have anybody, going on empty I feel I don’t have anybody ‘Cause I’m burdened down by gray skies And I’m anxious for the light And I can’t get that sad look out of my eyes I feel lonely I look to the bright side and realize it isn’t as bad as it once had been But I’ve never gotten to feel such felicity since I’ve been born, the joy just ends I’m just a bird that tries to fit into the nest with the neighbors, and they push me out Recently, I took this academic and social test I scored high on all my academics, but I scored on loneliness ninety-nine percent One of the loneliest people in the nation, something I don’t want to tout I kind of feel I don’t have anybody, going on empty I feel I don’t have anybody ‘Cause I’m burdened down by gray skies And I’m anxious for the light And I can’t get that sad look out of my eyes I feel lonely Gray skies, please clear up for me Can’t you hear my plea? |
