Missing

These days are long
The nights have grown elder
Lifeless becomes this song
For you and I have given old 

Don’t tell them I’m gone 

Secrets spilled 
Rumors speak 
From your lips 
They’d never leak 
Though the past 
Is gone and buried 
There’s a remedy
We all seem to seek

No one knows we’re gone

Lights and screams 
Life and dreams 
Stripped the strings 
Of your guitar
A mirrored image 
In years of  heal 
Did you forget 
We were but scars 
A blanket of tyranny 
Seems we’ve come so far
So lost and distant 
And they ask you 
Who you are

No one knows we’re gone 

Lost 
Missing 
Hiding 

Don’t tell them I’m gone 

“When all you have is you 
I hope you find yourself along the way “
