I wonder if she ever wonders what I’m doing now
Does she drive to work with tears on her face
To face the emptiest face
A kind of echo in an overcrowded room
Which now sits vacant at best
Was there a child inside and did he wonder
Who we were and what we have become
He’ll toss a coin then crawl into his closet
We are the kind of people you were never warned about
Or ever looked into the eye
We are the kind of people you just never heard about
I see you’re starting to wonder
Tobacco stains my windows to blur
I’d try to clean them but I’m tired as hell
Is what we make here on Earth
When we start worrying about tomorrow
Seems as if we all have parts to play
Although I’m skeptical & often doubt it
Listening to every word you say
But what am I supposed to do about it
We are the kind of people that you never learned about
There’s nothing new beneath the sky
We are the kind of people you should be concerned about
Because we know the wheel of time
It keeps on turning and it’s coming right back around
Feel safe if you like, it won’t be too very long now
What you may see as just a limiting belief
Is more a safety net in case you get your claws stuck inside of me
I’ve lived in sin, now I’m living with regret
You’re skipping merrily along & treating people as pets
There is a place you’ve never been, in fact you couldn’t conceive
Until your eyes adjust you’ll never know the tapestry we weave
We are the kind of people you should spread the word about
When you fall back into the line
We are the kind of people you just act absurd about
I guess we’ll see you around sometime
We are kind of people
