50,000 - '17

Hey, you! You out there!

How d'you see me when you stare?

How did I get here, where does it all go?

I swear to God that I just don't know

Sunlight sinking slowly into night

Cardboard cities, don't know where I sleep tonight

Broken sidewalks, street lights in disrepair

It didn't have to be like this, another life was lost somewhere

50,000 voices rising every time he'd sing

And every word he ever wrote reflected back to him

Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays

Rock stars don't ever die, they only fade away

Searchlights sweeping, 50,000 souls we'd face

Never ever sleeping, a serious drug you can't replace

Falling angels spiralling the sky at night

A star falls in the darkness but our eyes are blinded in the light

50,000 hands are raised to a man that's just like you and me

We create the gods we can and gift them immortality

Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays

Rock stars don't ever die, they only fade away

Hey, you! You out there!

How d'you see me when you stare?

How did I get here, where does it all go?

I swear to God that I just don't know

50,000 voices rising (hey you, you out there)

Every time he'd sing (how d'you see me when you stare?)

And every word he ever wrote (how did I get here, where does it all go?)

Reflected back to him (I swear to God that I just don't know)
