LOST

Do you think that I am crazy?
Do you believe I'm what I seem?
Can you see through this deception?
Can you hear that distant scream?

I'm lost, can't find my way.
I really don't know where I've gone.
Seems to me I was goint to play -
A song I knew back when I was sane.

Who is it within the ruins -
Of this twisted melted mind?
I seem familiar, yet a stranger;
What aweful truths am I to find?

Confusion, illusion,
Twisted gnawing seething pain.
Broken-hearted; What was started -
And then left behind again...

Hollow smiles, turn the dial -
To a station that I know.
Acidic tears, poisonous fears;
Which way does this river flow?

In the end can I mend -
This torn and battered soul?
If I try to reach the sky
Will I find I've passed my goal?

I think I think I'm crazy.
I don't know if I'm what I seem.
I can't break through this illusion -
I can't seem to escape this dream.
