Little Lost

Little boy lost
In a world devoid of pity
Midst the circuits of the city
Feels the cost

Of living on his own
And since he ran away from home
His world has grown

As his hunger has grown greater
For rocks of crystal white and golden brown

But still he holds his own against the cold
He finds a hole, a home
A place to penetrate a vein
And not come down

Little girl lost
In a world devoid of pity
Midst the circus of the city
Pays the cost

Of renting out her body
Lives a life of shame, a shoddy
Excuse of an existence
Cruelly tossed

Into a pit of pain where perverts
Take her, rape her, break her in and pin her down

Still she obliterates the ache
With every poison she can take
Just to escape this wretched world
To which she's bound

Give me wisdom, make me worthy
Keep me from all that may hurt me
That may enslave and deprave me
All the cruel and the unkind

Keep me from the pain and hurting
All the raw, the sore and dirty
That which may thwart and pervert me
And subvert my hurting mind

Little boy lost
In a world devoid of pity
Midst the circus of the city
Pays the cost

Of renting out his body
Lives a life of shame, a shoddy
Excuse of an existence
Cruelly tossed

Into a pit of pain where perverts
Take him, rape him, break him in and pin him down

Still he obliterates the ache
With every poison he can take
Just to escape this wretched world
To which he's bound

Little girl lost
In a world devoid of pity
Midst the circuits of the city
Feels the cost

Of living on her own
Because she's got no one to phone
And since she ran away from home
Her world has grown

As her hunger has grown greater
For rocks of crystal white and golden brown

But still she holds her own against the cold
She finds a hole, a home
A place to penetrate a vein
And not come down

Give me wisdom, make me worthy
Keep me from all that may hurt me
That may enslave and deprave me
All the cruel and the unkind

Oh just to have one minute
Just to lose myself within it
Or go back and not begin it
Wipe the tape clean and rewind

Give me wisdom, make me worthy
Keep me from all that may hurt me
All that enslaves and depraves me
All the cruel and the unkind

Oh just to have one minute
Just to lose myself within it
Or go back and not begin it
...Or leave this life behind
