standing alone under an evening sky
watching the world spin around me
i see the faces of lost souls
dancing in the winds of change
and puring through the sands of time
no one sees me standing there
turning away when i dont dance to the beat
or march to the rums of a thousand fools
they pretend im not there
whispering about me as if i couldnt hear
just a pirece of broken furniture
a part of the scenery
simply waiting to be thrown away
but there i stand
all alone tomorrow
quitetly challenging the song around me
by refusing to sing along
instead watching as empty hearts walk alone
looking past the invisible child
just standing there
waiting for the rain
and its there i'll stand a thousand years
long after the dance has carried the fools away
even after my body has given into the grip of time
my place will remained unchanged
for i am the outcast
the one who refused to dance the dance of a thousand fools
forced to suffer the wind and rain
and stand transparent to the world around me
but the only one to reamain
when the music stops and time marches on
grinding the danceres into the dust
and scattering their memory into the winds of change
though i'm left to an empty world
you'll never see sorrow in my eyes
i'll raise my glass with the other invisible souls
as we watch the last grains in the hourglass of time
trickle down through to the bottom
winding down the universe
letting us know our work is done
and that the ageless and now age no more
