all’ eterna fontana
A friend walked down a path
From a gravestone yonder the hill
I thought nothing of the fact
And continued eating my fillBut your eyes were ready to break
And I knew you were hurting inside
I was ready to comfort your ache
But then I knew it was we who had diedI always wished we could pretend
That we ourselves didn’t exist
For then we’d only see them
And the good of their happinessYou continued to walk right past me
And though my heart filled with lead
I decided to kneel to kiss your feet
And be loyal to your turning head

Who is the “they” in “For then we’d only see them
And the good of their happiness”?

The third stanza is the narrator reflected to himself about other humans. About how we always have our own purposes in mind when we do relationship. So the ‘them’ is all and any humans we are in relationship with.
