Stoned

from Demos 2018 by Frederick Sound

lyrics

Immortalized in a park square for all to see for all eternity
stands a hero, a valiant creature
who all aspire to be -- does he look a little bit like me?

I feel stoned like a statue
but i've done nothing great;
i don't deserve the honor honestly.

On the TV, on the stand for all to watch and all to judge
is a villain, a vile person
who makes all of humankind feel holier-than-thou.

I feel stoned like a criminal
but i've done nothing wrong;
i don't deserve your punishment or your scorn anymore.
I'm innocent...

Living fleetingly in a suburb somewhere sits the everyman and all of his friends
who haven't gathered around his table because they forgot their invitations, all still hanging on their nonexistent refrigerator doors.

I feel stoned like a no-one
but i do have a name...
i don't deserve, though, to be remembered for anything (at all).
