Lost Boy

Deeper and deeper I go into the fog
Farther into the hollows of mind
I'm running away from tomorrow's shadow
Though it's fated to catch up in time

There's nothing that calls me about modern things
The senseless who fall into repetitive routines
And lust for a prize they will never achieve
But it's happening, it's happening

I can see I am around all of these people
Yet I know I'm not really there
Cuz there's an invisible wall that binds me
And won't let me reach out to them

I call out and scream but they just won't reply
I've lost all control, laying down in the rye
And now they are worried I'm losing my grasp, falling
Further and further, further and further

I'm building a boat to flow down the stream
And maybe if I row enough I will reach
Reach to the shore though buried in sand
In idle pearls the sense of a man

I find I'm at peace when I'm far from the crowd
But what good is comfort when no one's around?
And now they are worried I'm losing my grasp, falling
Further and further, further and further

Merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream
(One day at a time)

I'm building a boat to flow down the stream
And maybe if I row enough I will reach
Reach to the shore though buried in sand
In idle pearls the sense of a man
