Frantic deep, hopeless dreams
Scattered all over the carpet
We don't want it
Bones and eyes, sick and tired
No support and no vision we're sliding
Off the highway
Broken soul, lost and cold
Elegiac reflections indicted
Never spoken or cited
Lo, lost boys, hear my voice
In extremis your heavy souls cry
So silent and dry
(Listening, listening...)
I hear your reticent, self-loathing monologue
Waiting my turn to speak, waiting behind the walls
Eyes to the ground with an angel above
But you cling to the earth as you curse everyone, because
Yesterday's laughing, but you were unraveling
Brain in a cage while your spirit was traveling
Now you're alone, but your friends are still watching
The hands that you felt are still here and they're guiding you
Back to home, Lost Child
Speak your mind, sleepless night
I am open as oceans, remind me
Come and find me
Buried seeds, underneath
No more nostrums and palliatives, cure me
I adjure thee
(Listening, listening...)
I hear your reticent, self-loathing monologue
Waiting my turn to speak, waiting behind the walls
Eyes to the ground with an angel above
But you cling to the earth as you curse everyone, because
Yesterday's laughing, but you were unraveling
Brain in a cage while your spirit was traveling
Now you're alone, but your friends are still watching
The hands that you felt are still here and they're guiding you
Back to home, Lost Child
