living just behind normal

Lost in a lost world. I stand a stranger too.
Seeing through eyes dry as bone.
Your children's children.Tis my soul that blames, not me.
 No I know better then to disrupt this harmony.
 Normal is it?  Aahh indeed.
What you seek and see you've found.
Falsely cherish such neutral ground.
You walk away as if you could. As if  alone, you've always stood.
 So the  clothes you wear will make this a better day.
 Hiding damaged goods that passed this way.
His family, now that's what counts. Selling phony by the ounce.
You've been here and you've been there. And every one so proud.
Just the sacrifices that you've made,
 after all for crying out loud.
Then  I a stranger, see, in my garden with my tea,
passing  judgement on you and he, oh so randomly.
Yes, yes mark me.
 You will never run so fast that you can out run your past.
 The secret  is to embrace what you are and what you've been.
To meet your maker with a grin.
Yes yes I know,
someone else to blame
 for the sins
that are not your own.
