Once was standing
Now he’s done
Staring at the far horizon
Once was gleaming
Now he’s rust
Time has scarred him to a thin crust
Soon to dust
You’re not important
You are just like everybody
You’re petrified just like the rest of us
You are a man
With rusted eyes that keep on searching
As waves are breaking through your outer layer
Until the tide recedes and you’re not there
Once he saw a setting sun
Shining beams on water dancing
Just for him
You’re not important
You are just like everybody
You’re petrified just like the rest of us
You are a man
With rusted eyes that keep on searching
As waves are breaking through your outer layer
One day the tide recedes and you’re not there
You are a man
With rusted eyes that keep on searching
But there’s nothing in the mind of a man
Made of iron
You are a man
With rusted eyes that keep on searching
But there’s nothing in the mind of a man
Made of iron
The beach forgets
With every single tide
The beach forgets
Every single
Every single time
Still he stares
Once was standing
Now he’s done
