SENSELESS SONG

I WALKED DOWN THE SORRY PATH AND I LOST ALL TRACK OF TIME
I GAVE UP FAR TOO MANY YEARS AND I GAVE UP WHAT WAS MINE
NO ONE ONE EVER HEARD MY SONG AND THOUGH I TRIED I NEVER DID BELONG IN A WORLD OF GLASS AND STEEL AND STONE

I FOUND MYSELF STARTING OVER FAR TOO MANY TIMES
SPINNING OUT MY TALES OF WOE INTO SOME OLD SENSELESS RHYMES
THINKING I WAS SPECIAL IN A CITY FILLED WITH DOUBT
TRYING HARD TO FIT IN FINDING ONCE YOU'RE IN YOU'RE OUT
THIS IS MY SENSELESS SONG

CAN'T GIVE YOU PEOPLE ANY MORE THAN WHAT I'VE GOT
BUT YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK MY WAY IF YOU DON'T THINK I'M "HOT"
GUESS I'LL HAVE TO GO AWAY
THIS IS MY SENSELESS SONG

PUTTING ALL MY EFFORTS INTO FINDING WHAT WAS WRONG
FINDING OUT THE HARD WAY 
I JUST NEVER DID BELONG

BREATHING IN THAT MARBLE DUST ON THAT SEPTEMBER MORNING
WEEPING AT THE HORROR THAT HAD COME WITHOUT A WARNING
WATCHING AS THE TRUTH OF IT SHOOK US TO THE CORE
SAYING TO EACH OTHER: THIS CAN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE
THIS CAN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE 

ON A BIG AND BRIGHT BLUE DAY 
THIS IS MY SENSELESS SONG

I WALKED UP FROM SORROW'S PATH AND LOST ALL TRACK OF TIME
WATCHING PAPER FLOATING DOWN ~ FLOATING DOWN ~ ALL AROUND ~ FLOATING DOWN

TRAVERTINE HAD PULVERIZED BUT PAPER FLOATED DOWN  ~ ALL AROUND JUST FLOATED DOWN

TOWERS CRUMBLED ~ PEOPLE PERISHED YET PAPER FLOATED DOWN  ~ PAPER FLOATED DOWN

SING ME A SENSELESS SONG

ALL MY PETTY CARES AND WOES ARE NOTHING AND WILL NEVER MATTER ~ PAPER FLOATED DOWN 
THIS IS MY SENSELESS SONG
