Oct 2012
he walks, both day and night
always searching for the light
the one he thinks will take him home
he's so tired of being alone
always going in circles, going nowhere
nobody notices, nobody seems to care
holding on to the life he used to know
but he feels it, that it's time to let go
the answer is finally clear
he was wronged here
and he has to forgive
the one who didn't let him live
the troubled man who had a knife
who didn't hesitate to take his life
and steal his wallet and his coat
it all goes black and he starts to float
but he sees the faces, the ones that grieve
and he's afraid, so afraid to leave
years have passed, time has no meaning
it doesn't feel real, what if he's dreaming
so he walks in circles, going nowhere
and nobody notices
nobody cares
