lyrics

LOST

Shocked...Welcome home my love.
Hot tears...I’d lost all degree of hope.
Dead falls open under foot. I’m stepping straight into a trap.
When I ask her where she’s been she just begins to laugh.

I’m cut to ribbons on sorrow’s nails. Every action gone beyond the pale.
The show is over. What brought her here?
I’m fading at this instant.

She lost her sight and half her soul.
She lost her senses and control.
She lost herself. She lost me too.
She lost her balance.

Words...The inside dope is mine.
Long box...Poison, steel and wine.
If I was a younger man I’d spit these rocks back in my guts.
But I come up short and tired. Emotions shacked and shut.

And I feel nothing as she stands in wind.
Thinking surely I’ll save her again.
She falls like paper down to rocks below.
I stand watching her go.

She lost her sight and half her soul.
She lost her senses and control.
She lost herself. She lost me too.
She lost her balance.
She lost her sight and half her soul.
She lost her senses and control.
She lost herself. She lost me too.
She lost her balance.

She lost her balance.
