Who Was Around? |
| Who was around when the world was falling down? |
| Who turned away? |
| Couldn’t bother to be around this now |
| Who walked away when the game wasn’t fun to play? |
| And my escape became my only game |
| Hand me over and hand me down |
| Get me out of your sight |
| No direction, my compass is broken |
| Where’d you leave me tonight? |
| I was a child, and now it seems so long ago |
| Why’d you abandon me? |
| Maybe it’s not for me to know |
| No explanation needed, nothing can change the way things went |
| You just weren’t interested, I guess, I guess |
| Some days fine, others out of my mind |
| And the curse I curse is the worst it gets |
| I hold it inside as you sleep, as you hide from |
| The mess that you made of your life |
| (Who was around when you were hungry? |
| Who eased the pain of all your sadness? |
| Who played with you when you were lonely? |
| Who was around?) |
| What will your conscience say? |
| Maybe you’ll change the channel soon |
| Or simply hide it in the chest of drawers inside your room |
| Like old linoleum, battered and worn beyond repair |
| Go burn the whole house down, like anyone cares |
| Maybe in time, these indelible lines will |
| Fade like the hopes and the fears you denied |
| These feelings are gone, they’ve been buried along |
| With the rest of the mess that you made in your chest of drawers |
