Lost My Life

Lost a life
Lost a mind
Lost my way
To try and find
Lost it all
Lost the reason
Lost the answer
To the question why
Lost a friend
Lost a soul
Even lost my way
In the end growing old
Lost the cover
Lost the voice
Lost the protest
To my choice
Lost the wind
Lost the sound
Lost the body
Drowning on the ground
Lost the blood
Lost the light
Surprisingly I lost the reason
Why I want to die
Lost the color
Lost the sight
Lost the track
Of lost time
Lost the reason
Why I lost it in the first place
Lost the sight
Of your lost face
I lost it all
I lost everything
I lost the reason
Why I am me
Lost my life
Lost my mind
Lost my way
In the darkest light
