The Scavenger (Single)

You will have no ordinary son
He will bring misfortune unto all
And all he'll make them do is suffer
All he'd ever done was waste around
Now it was the time to stand his ground

Takes what he wants without mind of consequence
Does all he can to protect what he scavenges
Delusional because he loves her

Lost within the cobwebs of his mind
(Like a fly, he is stuck in a web, so entangled in his machinations)
Carved a notch each day to pass the time
(he did now know what he was or what he was longing after)
Locked inside a room without a key
(And to us it may seem like a day, but to him it's been a thousand lifetimes)
He only knew but one sweet melody

Hidden away from the sight of society
All that he does he believes will set you free
Delusional because he lost her

Our lonesome Scavenger
Wanders the earth
Looking for someone to call home
When will he ever see
A moment of peace and tranquility
Only when walking down The Row

Look in his eyes
The light, it has died
He's trying to find
Somewhere to hide
Keep her inside
Away from the light
Save her tonight
From everything outside

Delusional because

Our lonesome Scavenger
Wanders the earth
Looking for someone to call home
(Looking for someone to call home)
When will he ever see
A moment of peace and tranquility
Only when walking down The Row
