No one knows me,
no one hears me,
no one sees me anymore.
They think they know me,
but they don't know me,
I keep my life to myself.

When did I build,
these walls around me?
Will there ever be,
someone who can save me?
Who will melt the ice
and let my river flow?
Who will know?

The author's comments:
(1st v. and c.) While I was playing around with some chords, I started to think about how everyone at school says they know me. But that's just it, all they do is say that they know me, but realy no one does. Even though I'm around some of them almost 24/7 it seems like no one knows the real me, and I began to wonder if anyone ever would. Don't get me wrong, my friends are awsome, but half the time the "me" they talk about is a stranger. Weird, right?
