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 |
