No One Notices

*waves*
Goodbye everyone…
*no one notices*
It’s nice being the invisible man,
No pays you any attention,
You can get away with anything…

*waves*
Goodbye everyone…
*no one notices*
Well, it’s not great all the time,
There are times when it’s nice to be noticed,
Otherwise you feel alone…

*waves*
Goodbye everyone…
*no one notices*
Ok, maybe it’s not nice at all,
Having people care about you
Is something everyone should be able to experience…

*waves*
Goodbye everyone…
*no one notices*
*disappears, never to be seen again*
*years later, one person says*
“Hey, where did that lad go?”

*falls on deaf ears*
*no one cares*
*they walk by his carcass everyday*
*his eyes remain open*
*there’s a letter clasped in his hand*
*one day, someone finally notices him*

*they take the letter and read it*
*there’s only a solitary sentence*
Maybe now someone will care…
*the letter finder shuts the letter holder's eyes*
'I would've cared...'
*no one noticed what just happened*

*no notices what society as a whole fails to notice*
*what society thinks is important is what gets noticed*
*that's why our society is falling apart*
