Lost

La da da da da
La da da
La da la da

I've spoken way too optimistic when I've given up
Every word I've said is like the metal waiting for the flux
I'm in a rut, these passive aggressive inactions
Are lasting longer than acid and
Passion from every pity fuck
How can we find a way
When every day just looks the same
Reflections of your hopes and fears; broken mirrors from out the frames
You've lost the game - you've lost yourself along the way
You've lost ambition just to disappear - clearly, we are not the same

With every word unspoken
Will unbroken, left here out to dry
We're losing every fight
You know we're more than just a sacrifice
When these bones are broken
Minds unspoken, find your will
To drive yourself tonight
Turn darkness into light, right now

I've lost myself, you've lost your mind
Slithered out this parasite
Fooled me once - won't fool me twice
More than just another sacrifice
Wake me up, don't waste no time
Embrace the coldest winter night
Expose myself to kryptonite
Withered lost in a paradise

When I pass on - living only through my body of work
I hope you can sift through my ashes to salvage some worth
A silver tongue and heart of gold; to lift you from squalor and hurt
I have paced for years and never seen this concrete disturbed
So these impressions are made where they matter or don't
And that's dependent on your perspective on the matters of soul
Cracks - pitting the patter against the back of its bones
I've burned so deeply into blackness that I've founded a glow
So may this remind me I'm blessed through the tough times
May the dark night of my heart be dispelled by the sunshine
Comes a time when it all departs - I won't be left with a fucked mind
Running miles on broken shards, stressing what you must like
There's a catch for the tongue-tied; a vest for the gun-shy
A pressure to up-rise, revolt, and re-run the length of wrung lightning
The world serpent mingles with Kundalini stretches to come alive
In the shell of this dumb life; tell me that you're alright

I've lost myself, you've lost your mind
Slithered out this parasite
Fooled me once - won't fool me twice
More than just another sacrifice
Wake me up, don't waste no time
Embrace the coldest winter night
Expose myself to kryptonite
Withered lost in a paradise

I distilled my essential star fragments into mute ashes
Kneaded in a living clay puppeteered with true passion
In the mortal coil, I clamber up the screw pattern
At the speed of life; as time moves past me
I climb divine on repeat and when I fell towards the rising heat
I outstretched my wings, and I found them dry in time
To carve burn marks in my feathers
Reminders of life behind a moth - trying to be free

I've lost myself, you've lost your mind
Slithered out this parasite
Fooled me once - won't fool me twice
More than just another sacrifice
Wake me up, don't waste no time
Embrace the coldest winter night
Expose myself to kryptonite
Withered lost in a paradise

Trust we're on the front lines; carving a paradise
From the dust of the justified - falling to barren light
