I see them arrive

They are never alone

They are feeling safe

Only in the flock

Feeling lost

And insecure

Backing down

When confronted alone

All the confidence

Has vanished

Falling down

From the high horse

Do you dare to look into my eyes

After all you’ve said and done

Don’t you turn your head away

Don’t just turn and walk away

No matter where you go

Or how fast you run

They won’t leave you when you close your eyes

The images will stay

Their eyes can see

Even things that were never there

Alternate reality

Occupying the mind

Only thinking of extremes

Black and white

Lacking discretion

Can’t tell wrong from right

Breeding gossips

Betraying love and trust

The bonds of friendship

Not safe any more

Rest assured

They’ll get their reward

Marked and blamed by

The conscience of their own

Do you dare to look into my eyes

After all you’ve said and done

Don’t you turn your head away

Don’t just turn and walk away
