So Many Friends

And the children's eyes they turn As I walk away I am becoming their prey And the firelight it burns in your eyes There are times you despise me Oh you criticize me I have lost so many friends I have gained so many memories I can change the colors of the night The hum and the drum they sound the same When you're tapping the same vein And I have noticed lately that the time that you took To look at my face has gone without a trace Oh you despise me
