Oblivious because you feel entitled to be as you are.

i’m dead to you
you have no clue
oh the sadness
on your face

actress on your stage
portraying your best grief
and maybe you feel something
though it’s impossible
not to see through you

the wounds you carve run deep
i know you better
than i had opportunity to know myself

from this distance
i could have compassion for you
it’s not safe to open my heart
in close proximity
to your torching heat

your audience couldn’t understand why
your lovely daughter would shut you out
oh pity for you
but not for me
your convincing performance
is watertight
pay your money
climb inside
view the Titanic
resting at the bottom of the sea
don’t they believe
overlooking reality
