I lost a world, I never owned. A fleeting isle of blood and bone. I walked eight miles all alone down the broken glass strewn black sand shore. I cut off a limb I no longer use. I sung a hymn to a skeletal muse. I lost a world, in the blink of an eye. Down near the waterline where dreams go to die. You can't cry off a metamorphosis, you can't buy back the light swallowed by the abyss, you can't lie through lips locked in a kiss. I lost a world, I wish I missed Hard and fast the line is secured. To a forgotten dock my boat is moored. I lost my oar, when I jumped overboard. I lost my place in the world of my past. Gutless ghouls haunt this hellish wood. I'd rant and rail, it would do no good. If I tried I'd fail to be understood, I lost a world, and even if I could I'd never go back, to the ship of fools.

The World I've Lost
I lost a world, I never owned. A fleeting isle of blood and bone. I walked eight miles all alone down the broken glass strewn black sand shore. I cut off a limb I no longer use. I sung a hymn to a skeletal muse. I lost a world, in the blink of an eye. Down near the waterline where dreams go to die. You can't cry off a metamorphosis, you can't buy back the light swallowed by the abyss, you can't lie through lips locked in a kiss. I lost a world, I wish I missed Hard and fast the line is secured. To a forgotten dock my boat is moored. I lost my oar, when I jumped overboard. I lost my place in the world of my past. Gutless ghouls haunt this hellish wood. I'd rant and rail, it would do no good. If I tried I'd fail to be understood, I lost a world, and even if I could I'd never go back, to the ship of fools.
