Without me the town goes on
The children learn
They grow
They play
And laugh, faces to the sunshine
The faces stay the same
No one ever leaves here
It's easier to stay here
Were they know you
Your family
They know how you are
And they mind your business
For you
Until you drift
out of their minds
like I did
I sit by the window
and I watch their faces age
their children grow taller
running past my house
They fear me
I know
I listen
An animal they say
Crazy
A sick freak
I hear he's dead in there
They needn't be frightened
Because to them
I am
