We?
The Gargoyles "We"
This morning I woke up and choked the lump back in my throat
I put on clothes and got in line among the Morn's dewdrops
Some fade in and out among my short life on this earth
Swirling, twirling in and out; a song that never stops
She sat there with her head thrown back, pretending to need sleep
I rolled my eyes around my head and wished she'd look at me
A million others just passed by without a single thought
When just there in that second, a soul for sale was bought.
I wished for one last time that night that we could smile again
And from the bottom of my heart I wish we could have just been friends
A hundred sharpened words flew at me, crafted much like blades
Like screeching machines of war; without a purpose but still made
Thousands swept the halls that day, so filled in their complexity
To just relax and talk had now become but fading history
A fraud half-smile rose here and there, a shrill but empty cry of tears
Just dust and lies blew from their mouths that flew to hardened, deafened ears
And with these plastic words, I saw, the men were made of clay
To just burst fourth without purpose for all the endless coming days
She was but a jealous gargoyle born to spite those who couldn't heal
She couldn't truly love or hate, or separate the fake from real
So on this path on my walk home I come to find myself alone
Alone with every piercing stare, alone with counterfeited cares
To walk in sole; a single lame and wandering man of flesh and blood
Was now my nameless curse for those who weren't shaped from clay and mud
A thousand sat upon the beach, but just one single heart did beat
Mine and none, my flesh and bones were washed away into the sea
And I realize I'm left alone
With everyone beside me.
