Lost But Not Forgotten

Intro:
A drip down the face, again
Direct result of your urgency
Only the best will give up chase
After all the sweat and blood’s
Been poured out for you all

lap it up!
Quick!
…please…
Just do it for us
Just do it for us all

Pre-Chorus:
Lost from the artery, forgotten from the sky
Have we really lost out, have we faded to grey?

Chorus:
All this baggage, you’ve thrown onto my shoulders
Involuntarily, I have to accept
Yet you’re splintering my bones, that bear the weight

Choking away my once true love
Silencing the cry of deep passion
You don’t know it but you’re ruining, it all

Verse:
Smother me,
Load me up,
And set me on my way

Trouble me,
With expectations,
Soaring high, and higher

Interfere
With what’s
Not yours
Allying with desires,
But distant,
To the gaze.

Eyes now sore from the staring
Sore from speculating:
“Am I alone with this box of dreams?

Eyes now sore from the staring
Will there be no-one left when…
Will there be no-one left at the end, at all?”

Pre-Chorus:
Lost from the artery, forgotten from the sky
Have we really lost out, have we faded to grey?

Lost from the artery, forgotten from the sky
Have we really lost out, have we faded?

Chorus:
All this baggage, you’ve thrown onto my shoulders
Involuntarily, I have to accept
Yet you’re splintering my bones, that bear the weight

Suffocating the plea of aspiration
Murdering the soul strapped to my spine

Post-Chorus:
Lost without love
Since nobody will notice, care for us
Palms up!-hands red and withered
Through tearing through you insides again
Only not to solve anything, not to cure anyone


You’re going to die,
I’m sorry,
I’m so sorry for you…the dream’s deceased
Long ago with its brothers and sisters
Denied existence

But I want it so bad! Can’t you see?
I need it, my lungs can’t cope without
I’ve been deprived, for far too long
Striving, never fully, truly achieving

When will I reach the peak?
When will I breathe…break through…if I ever do…hold me (hope) close

Bridge:
Lifelines thin, grips begins to slip
Heart monitors fade into the background music
Replaced by the booming voices, the hate
Is there any point in this?
Why do we…
Why should we…
Carry on…

When will it end?
Will my heart stop before the pedestal?
I don’t want to be remembered, as the body sprayed across this floor
Where’s the glory in that?
I don’t want to be the boy who dreamed but never fulfilled

But boy, who am I kidding?
Kidding myself, just to believe again

Chorus:
All this baggage, you’ve thrown onto my shoulders
Involuntarily, I have to accept
Yet you’re splintering my bones, that bear the weight

Choking away my once true love
Silencing the cry of deep passion
You don’t know it but you’re ruining, it all

It all

It all

Outro:
Is there any use of all this sweat and blood
That’s been poured out for you?

lap it up!
Quick!
…please…

lap it up!
Quick!


…please…
Just do it for us

Sometimes I plead for death, just to get this over with
Just to offer me some release, from this constant climbing

Never reached the height I was dreaming of
Never resurfaced after the fall,
From five hundred floors into the darkened waves

…Will we ever…
