No Signal

I've been stranded in my own desert for quite some time

Even though its one I made for myself

My radio only has one station

And the other end doesn't seem

To receive my cries for help

Day after day,

I spiel my unconditional longing

Want to go back to where I used to be

Where I had open arms to lie in

Where I was happy

Where I was listened to

Endless hours spent clawing at my only chance

Of surviving this pool of death,

Were wasted speaking into this radio

That I wasn't even sure had someone listening any longer

I've waited as long as I could

Before giving up on a miracle rescue

From this place,

I'm being forced to call home

If there's no one on the other end,

There isn't one on this side either
