The Band Together

Let me listen to the band together
synchronized with their realities
	as I sit in my tower unmoving
Let me listen

Let the rogues of the world band together
Leave me on my side alone
	have always been a good listener
Believe in the drone

My unhampered incapabilities band together
searching for love in a smile
	nothing continues to make sense
Nothing indeed worthwhile

I hear the band together
crying a happy tear
	I alone and the band is together 
It'll always be that way, I fear.
