Staring blindly into space
Motionless the world I face
No one knows what’s going on
They just keep running on, and on
No one sees me sitting here
No one sees my vacant stare
The world goes on, there’s money to make
Everyone wants a slice of the cake
People, people everywhere
Working, loving, I guess, just living
Young and old, all in the race
Who set this worlds relentless pace
I had to sit, I had to stop
A vacant stare, was all I had
A broken heart that felt so bad
I’d lived, I’d loved
But now they’d gone
They closed the lid,
They wanted rid
A single leaf fell to the ground
It caught my eye without a sound
It broke my stare, it broke my trance
I stood right up, I stretched my arms
Back into the world I ran
At quite a pace
I had no plan
