Just Another Beggar

I watch you avoid watching me
I hear you talk louder as I'm begging
You try and act as if you don't notice
I get a glance at best

I know what you see when you look at me
Just another beggar on the streets
Turning you eyes away is so easy
Especially when you have a place to sleep

I hold my hand out for just a small grant
I don't ask too much, please understand
I just need to get through tonight
I can see my bones, my skin's so tight

I know what you see when you look at me
Just another beggar on the streets
Turning you eyes away is so easy
Especially when you have a place to sleep

I know those big time guys say they care
It helps your hearts to know they'll "be there"
You don't care to know how little they come around
As long as your conscious is sound

I know what you see when you look at me
Just another beggar on the streets
Turning you eyes away is so easy
Especially when you have a place to sleep

Is this what's left of humanity
There's no selflessness in your vanity
Heroism is truly an act
And we're only moving forward, never back

Look through my eyes, see what I see
You're just another drone walking the streets
Turning my eyes away isn't so easy
Especially when your my chance for a place to sleep.
