Ian wrote this song on New Years Eve. It is an expression of the loneliness he felt as he saw the year 2002 pass into history.

And I feel out of place
I don't belong, I have no face
And the thoughts that make me cry
Become the pain from which I die

And you can't see me
And you can't feel me
And you can't hear me
But you can break me

In the silence I now stand
I'm just a lonely, crumbling man
And the dreams that I once had
Are now just footsteps in the sand

And you can't see me
And you can't feel me
And you can't hear me
But you can break me

And another day goes by
I've given up, why should I try?
In my darkness I shall roam
No end in sight, and I'm all alone
