Dial Tone

by FireFly - Libra

Talk to millions-
On the cell phone-
Thru the hired machine above-

I'm calling you-
No, its not cuz I miss you-
I'm calling-
Cuz you wanted me too-

There isn't enough truth-
To carry my voice-
There isn't room-
In your brain to hear-
The important words-

I wasn't asking for forgiveness-
I'm here to say-
Years have traveled with hours-
And I'm around in this transmisison-
to blow your fuse-
To infect those wounds-

Everyone on everyday-
I know you don't see me in there-
I'm just one-
Looking in the sunlight-
In the starlight-
Feeling ever more the same-
Seeing if my voice-
Counts somewhere-

You just want the monotone-
No love, no more in stereo-
Couldn't give a dam-
Looking like Friday-
But feeling like Monday-

You just want the dial tone-
I know, its the heart thats hung up-
A long time ago-
