50,000: ’17

Hey, you! You out there! How d'you see me when you stare? How did I get here, where does it all go? I swear to God that I just don't know Sunlight sinking slowly into night Cardboard cities, don't know where I sleep tonight Broken sidewalks, street lights in disrepair It didn't have to be like this, another life was lost somewhere 50,000 voices rising every time he'd sing And every word he ever wrote reflected back to him Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays Rock stars don't ever die, they only fade away Searchlights sweeping, 50,000 souls we'd face Never ever sleeping, a serious drug you can't replace Falling angels spiralling the sky at night A star falls in the darkness but our eyes are blinded in the light 50,000 hands are raised to a man that's just like you and me We create the gods we can and gift them immortality Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays Rock stars don't ever die, they only fade away Hey, you! You out there! How d'you see me when you stare? How did I get here, where does it all go? I swear to God that I just don't know 50,000 voices rising (hey you, you out there) Every time he'd sing (how d'you see me when you stare?) And every word he ever wrote (how did I get here, where does it all go?) Reflected back to him (I swear to God that I just don't know)
