Something Lost
Everything upon a tree
Settled in the light
Just below is darkest seed
Working through the night
Everything is all I see
Never more to know
Just until the darkness breathes
The cities start to grow
In the shade of this disease
I forget the earth
And what’s to come will confuse me
And complicate my worth
Everything I wanted back
Dying in the night
Just above the sun keeps track
But I can’t see this light
Everything is all I lack
Always more to know
Enter now into contract
The darkness forces soul
In the centre of disease
I finally see the earth
And although it’s memory
I’ve come to understand its worth
