38 Onlookers

Burnt-out, tears rolling down his cheeks as he approaches the station.

He needs to be with the girl he thought was his world.

She stares blankly at his hair: unkempt and unshaven and treated with no care.

She says:

“You’re so different, unstable and logically unable. I can’t do this no more!”

He says:

“Hold on baby, nothin’ ever comes easy. But I know that you’ll remember that.”

But she says:

“Not now maybe, this is all too much lately. Just give yourself time to come around.

And you’ll be fine.”

Burn-Out is holding on to the only thing left on his mind.

He’s blinding his eyes away from her flame, but he still cannot surrender her name.

But who’s to blame?

Yet he stays the same, prays to St. Germaine, acting out of line, getting into his 9 to 5 crime.

And she’s still there, she is everywhere,

But now he feels so alone as the crowd stares and his brain tears.

He says:

“Hold on baby, nothin’ ever comes easy. But I thought you would remember that my love.”

But the crowd says:

“Not now maybe, this is getting too crazy. Just give her some time to come around.

And you’ll be fine.”

He collapses, the 38 onlookers ignoring his every word.

As if he wasn’t low before — now he’s loaded and can’t seem to be heard!

He’s poisoned every minute, every hour, every day without her help, but who’s the one to sin?

Is it his habit or her heart that’s the victim, or is it the crowd who does nothing but stare at him?

They just stare, they just stare.

They don’t care, they don’t care.

They don’t care at all, they don’t care, they just stare.

They don’t care at all, they don’t care, they just stare.

They just stare, they just stare.

They don’t care, they don’t care.

They don’t care at all, they don’t care, they just stare.

They don’t care at all, they don’t care, they just stare.

He said:

“Hold on baby, nothin’ ever comes easy.” And the end did not come easily for him. 

The crowd says:

“Not now maybe, he probably doesn’t need saving. Just give someone time to come around.

And he’ll be fine.”

They just stare, they just stare.

They don’t care, they don’t care.

They don’t care at all, they don’t care, they just stare.

They don’t care at all, they don’t care, they just stare.

They just stare, they just stare.

They don’t care, they don’t care.

They don’t care at all, they don’t care, they just stare.

They don’t care at all, they don’t care, they just stare.
