A Child Alone
Nightlights of belief
A blood-red river underneath
A child stands alone
Searching for a new path home
An ocean of command
A fading doorway in the sand
A child walks alone
Another nightlight guides him home
Caverns of deceit
Broken glass and bloody feet
A child crawls alone
The raging ocean calls him home
A shelter from the pain
Now that he forgets his name
The child bleeds alone
The shadow of his nightlight shown
The nightlight drifts away
There’s nothing left to ever say
The child dies alone
The only place he could call home
