Story Behind The Song
I was given the idea of this song from "Rockin" Reggie Vincent. Reggie played guitar on Alice Cooper's Schools Out, and one a Gospel Of The Year award last year
Song Description
After seeing his ex, the man reflects on how it makes him feel inside. He realizes that that's how everyone feels who go through similar circumstances. I was very mindful to use words common people would use, at first anyway. Then I got a bit poetic, after the scene was set

Lyrics
Oh there she goes, fading colors in my eyes
Fading colors in my mind
I'm looking to fly...away
Oh there she goes, things will never be the same
Things will never be the same
I'm looking to fly away from here
I'm looking to fly away from here
All I know, all I see, I just cannot go on living in a dream
Silent words, rise and fall, now I finally see the writing on the wall
Now I know,now I know
Where the lonely people go
Oh there they go, forgotten people pass me by
Forgotten people pass me by
I'd battle the past for you
I'd battle the past for you
Falling stars, to the earth
See them scatter dreams across the universe
Eager eyes, they don't see
You are just an echo of a memory
Now I know, now I know
Where the lonely people go
Oh there she goes, fading colors in my eyes
Now I stand all alone, because the past is just an island we all know
Wheel of stars, turn the sky, and my hope is that the dawn will have new eyes
Now I know, now I know
Where the lonely people go
