You are the saddest thing that I have ever seen
You don't see the people, the heads, in front of you
I'm filled with neither joy nor empathy.
Only a great, terrible, sadness.
Sadness lost over the roar
Your eyes are lost in the black of your face
You've aged yet your voice is no older, only wiser
Your dearest friend is pirouetting and spiralling across the boards
He's laughing and he's happy
Their laughing 'cause he's talking
No one knows your reasons
But you've gone and made a mystery
You flew over the sea in a hot air dirigible
While you became a monk and stockpiled rice and waited for the end of the world
Strangely the lot of you are like a spectrum
And you seem to be speaking different languages
You've all changed and become new yous
Yet you sing the same songs louder than ever
