I don’t know who comes up with the themes for Alvin‘s secret writers club, but I like them. This theme is Unwelcome. I like moody words. Press play and read the lyrics below…

take a deep breath and let it all out
it’s not something to fret about
the words will stand still and people will pass
judgements on themselves

then all the noises in the walls
will pray along with you
’cause you’re not wanted here
’cause you’re not welcome here

it’s all locked up inside of an echo
pressing pages against the screen
and with some time the words will jump out
and live with hopeful thoughts

then all the noises in the walls
will pray along with you
’cause you’re not wanted here
’cause you’re not welcome here

then i’ll take pictures of you by the window
and blink between the frames
’cause someone braver than me in a nutshell
said this remains unchanged
’cause you remain the same

walk down sidewalks and notice all the noise
there’s always space to fill your thoughts
and back downtown the breathing starts to bother you
but no one stopped to blink

then all the noises in the walls
will pray along with you
’cause you’re not wanted here
’cause you’re not welcome here
’cause you’re not wanted here
’cause you’re not welcome here
