we start life strong, and strong we live
we fight for peace of mind
we love until our love’s worn out
and quietly we die
but there are those who disappear
whose tears we never see
there are those who cringe in fear
and we ignore their plea
they are the lost among the norm
deprived a joyful song
they live without the love we have
and we stare blindly by
they move away, become unknown
before unblinking eyes
an empty chair, becomes a grave
and we, their lives deny
some lost become what others won’t
and serve the ones they feared
they live the lives we cast for them
and we walk idly by
among the lost, are those more gone
than those who live to serve
the missing lost, are gone for good
and we take off and fly
the lost become the darkened tales
that haunt the ears of youths
forgotten echoes of our friends
and we believe our lies
they live unseen, beneath our feet
the lost, before they leave
they dance alone, while we live on
and quietly we die
