Someone You'd Admire

Someone You'd Admire

After all is said and done I feel the same

All that I hoped would change within me stayed

Like a huddled moon-lit exile on the shore

Warming his hands a thousand years ago

I walk with others in the yearning to get out

Claw at my skin and gnash their teeth and shout

One of them wants only to be someone you'd admire

One would as soon just throw you on the fire

After all is said and after all is done

God only knows which of them I'll become
