Misanthropic Man

Close enough to touchÂ

Nothing I can see, but I am feelingÂ

The presence of a ghost who haunts me stillÂ

Trapped between the walls of his illusionsÂ

Trapped with only time to killÂ

Here lies an actor with no dramaÂ

here lies a leader with no planÂ

And I do not existÂ

But for one exception, I am nothingÂ

But witness to this Misanthropic ManÂ

Nothing else seems trueÂ

Nothing but to know this game we're playingÂ

Nothing but this scene we're walking throughÂ

Nothing matters, even what he's sayingÂ

Nothing I could tell youÂ

Here lies a thief confused by stealingÂ

Here lies a player who can't jamÂ

And I do not existÂ

But for one exception, I am nothingÂ

But witness to this Misanthropic ManÂ

So play another handÂ

Try to find some meaning in your chaosÂ

There's no context fitting for you nowÂ

There's no tiny light to guide your footstepsÂ

You want to take it all in hand, butÂ

You're not the dealer at this tableÂ

You're not the one to call the danceÂ

You're nearly obsoleteÂ

But for your existence, you are nothingÂ

But a Misanthropic Man who lost his chance
