I left, in an empty field

By the suburban trees

Where the sky meets the night

And the grass meets the stars


Far, from the urban smoke,

Down the wailing road,

I see a man in red

Who wished he was dead


Then, I saw his hands

Riddled with deep scars

Beaten battered down

I couldn't look at him now.


How could I look at him now?

When we wore the same frown

Only he was looking into the night

And I was staring into the sky.



Sonder - realization that everyone lives a complicated life.
