People Watcher

Just like a hundred thousand snakes 
You crawl around my legs 
Without pride, a beggar for respect 
How could you lose your self respect? 

We see the signs and yes we learn from them 
And still we never understand 
Our hopes should not be buried yet alive, 
but gain more strength with every smile 

We see the stars' eternal distance 
As we reach out to take them home 
Confused you speak of silence 
As a scream ends in disguise 

Your search for your excuses 
One of hundreds of your tries 
The past will gain your wisdom 
The future through your lies 

Lay down now all your weapons 
To see the peace within your hands 
We all move move further towards nowhere 
To understand where we belong 

Confused I speak of silence 
As you start screaming to be heard 
You gave up responsibility 
There is a reason to your life
