Sacrifice

Sacrifice

Nobody ever listens to what they say
Even when they talk their lives away
Hardly listening to this unorganized confide
No matter, it's nonsense, get on with our lives

But look up, they see - see you, see me
And to us, they trust - in us, the key

Does it matter that they don't see the shadows
White and black and creep from the gallows
Shapes block the light, they steal the sight
Rise, the laughter, they dared to excite?

We look up, we see - both you, and me
The clown, so true - lift me, steals you
The key, it falls - cracked glass, for all
For vain, in pain - no life, no gain

I've fallen back to once again, that simple, careless glee
Unaware of all befallen just once to set me free
