...and they'll never even try...

It's been a while since I've done this, but consider it a counterpoint to my last entry. A song, quoted entire, off the "Wishfire" CD. I know a lot of people just skip over song entries, but please, if you're not just reading this for the mild entertainment value, read the lyrics. If at all possible, find the song and listen to it. It's something a bit... comforting, I think is the word I want. This is one of those songs that I desperately want to know that all those I am attached to have heard.
Spectators
Down on the other side of things
The triggers fast and light
Bringing home this emptiness
For which you had to fight
It doesn't matter if you're giving
For they do not compromise
The world will keep you guessing
Until the day you die
And everyone will say "I told you so"
Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
But I'll make a run at something real
And they'll never even try
And everyone will say "I told you so"
Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
As I go down in a ball of flames
They'll just watch, and wonder why
When the people downtown are freezing
Sometimes you cannot hide
So what can you do its often true
Then we shift away our eyes
But maybe that moments ours to live
And maybe that's what we were for
As fate will share a chance with you
To open up your door
And everyone will say "I told you so"
Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
But I'll make a run at something real
And they'll never even try
And everyone will say "I told you so"
Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
As I go down in a ball of flames
They'll just watch, i wonder why
I don't understand
Why you're just standing there
I don't understand
Why you don't seem to care
And everyone will say "I told you so"
Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
But I've made a run at something real
And they've never even tried
And everyone will say "I told you so"
Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
And tell me where I made my big mistake
They may just be surprised...
