VALIDATION

All this self-indulgent grieving
Success is everywhere except here
Another dusk, another dawn yet
This all means nothing at all
If no one’s listening
No one’s listening

In a sea of others trying
We try too hard, and burn out
And try to drown out
The hum of broken hearts today
Forgotten tomorrow

Can’t they hear we’re trying
To put the world to rights?

We await our validation
For the gods of the airwaves to grant us
A green light for the masses
OK to turn us on today
Forget tomorrow

Can’t they hear we’re trying…
Can’t they hear we’re trying…
Can’t they hear we’re trying…
Can’t they hear we’re trying…
