about

A song for Hooper

lyrics

I was far more relevant
When all of my friends
Had nothing better to do
Now, I look around
Listening for their sounds
Expectant of nothing new

Finding something more
A clamor 'yond the door
Of droves planning escape
To where, I don't know,
But it stands to show
It'll be somewhere that I ain't

You used to care, and me, I know you will

I know that I shouldn't bitch
About these problems which
Have nothing to do with you
But I sense you listen
Not in exhibition
But for your greatest of fears

Tearing down your walls
Hearing no footfalls
And sensing no one is there
Then you look around
Listening for the sounds
Seeing nothing, you stare

You used to stare at me, I know you will

Come on back around
I let you down somehow
And if I get it right this time
Will it all fall down?
