My heart is wondering
Like a lost sailor
Lost sailing the far deep sea's
Searching for lost treasure that isn't there

It finds itself in the land of the lost
Chasing shadows
Seeking what its ancestral roots became ancestors seeking
Unknowingly

Like a wolf
ItΒ Β it cries into the moon day and night
Hoping for answers to its troubles
And miseries

With no crying shoulder
The situation is of an orphan
Abandoned by the one and only
Closest relatives

Struggling to accept what is
With the obsession of what was
It is an unchained slave
Enslaving the the mind along

And until it finds peace
My body will remain a walking corpse
Lifeless but breathing.
