lyrics

I'm looking down at people
Each one passing me by
It's as if no one cares
But then who the hell am I?
I've read in all your holy books
That someone takes the lead
Someone fights the battle
While another succumbs to greed
But I feel like that leaves out
All the people like me and her
Confusion's not an adjective
But it's the closest word
And beauty's not the same
Without her by my side
But the view, it still is pretty
So I'll take it all in stride

I'm looking down at people
For my friends who were coming today
Maybe they've found something better
They all have gone away
So I'm staring at my hand
Where there once lay a golden fist
But now that fist has dissipated into a lonely mist
I am left alone; I'm the only one
A beauty seen in solitude is a beauty seen by none
I can take a picture of this knowing in my head
But all these beautiful thoughts will die once I am dead
