Barren Life

i watch the rain trickle down the gutter
 i see the colour drain from the sky
 i watch the world stand still around me
 i feel the endless march of time
 i see you pass by
 with that look in your eye
 you say "it's only nothing"
 but it's always that one thing
 no one hears your cries of suffering
 and would they care anyway?
 reflected in every shop window
 echoed round these streets of grey
 i see you pass by
 with that look in your eye
 and you say "it's only nothing"
 but i know it's only that one thing
 i see your spirit trickle down the gutter
 i see the colour drain from your eyes
 i see your world stand still around you
 and cease the endless march of time
 and you said "it's only nothing"
 but this reflection never lies
