Who's Asking?

from Always Flying Blind by Somnistatic

about

This track is closely tied to the time I spent homeless, while working as a bouncer at a bar. I silently watched so many interactions between people whom I was invisible to. People dancing, laughing, drinking, fighting, living. I was on the outside. Never able to be a part of any of it. All I could ask was for I.D. All I could do was whatever anyone needed me to do. They feel like I'm a fixture, a friend, but I was a wild animal coming to the back door for scraps and never bonding with anyone. I felt like I needed to wear the armor of disinterest. 

lyrics

Another trick down the line
Selling souls for dimes
Can't forget to change my mind
I forgive it time after time

Is it all I could find to ask you
Did you care if I saw
Who's asking

Ticking away like a bomb
Picking my battles all along
Tricking my way through the fog
Dreaming away another song

Is it all I could find to ask you
Did you care if I saw
Who's asking

Cutting through the faulty wires
Day by day they turn to liars
Is the whole world on fire
I'm standing tall like a fighter

Is it all I could find to ask you
Did you care if I saw
Who's asking
