These People
I'm on this stage
These people, all have left
me holding this bursting heart
I don't understand
these people, tell me it's a new start
it's in the plans
this past had stains
These people remember
to my dismay
these people, all are the same
I light fires under
these people's feet
I run and hide
I'm always discreet
These people, all are the same
rocks talking to rocks
Who really listens?
Waves, I have beaten
these people, since my birth
it's some kind of curse
to love these rocks
no matter what
I write, do, or say
I cannot explain these rocks
to these people, it's all the same
these people remember
everything from "a" to "z"
these people know true confessions yet
these people don't know me
I reveal myself everyday
I'm on this stage
there's no applause
a great new contract
but forgotten in some clause
These people remember
be they friend or foes?
I don't know
these people, all are stones
These people can't feel one more
When will these people believe?
There is so much to me
These people remember everything yet
these people have no intensity
I weep
these people know I'm weak
drowning in this love
these people never seek.
