LOST

LOST

When your soul is lost there’s an emptiness that will consume.

Everything seems to be filled with sorrow and doom.

Without your soul you have no direction, you feel so lost.

You need to get your life back together, no matter the cost.

When your soul is lost there’s an inner fire that no longer burns.

All you see is conspiracies around every turn.

While searching for your soul you think you may never find your way back.

Once your life has been derailed, it’s hard to get back on the track.

Then you feel like you’ve hit rock bottom in a bottomless pit.

You think this is where you belong but there’s no place to sit.

There are passions that just got left behind,

There are desires that you just can’t find.

You feel like you’re lost in a riddle with no answer to be found.

You’re lost in a song with no words and no sound.

Trying to find your soul, you look left, then you look right,

It’s like you’re in a maze with no end in sight.

You try to find solace deep in your mind,

Again you are lost in the dark where no light can shine.

You can feel the presence of the demons that have taken control.

You have to kill the demons and get back your soul.

You walk down a corridor with plenty of doors to see.

Every door is locked and you have no key.

Are there more demons locked behind each door,

Or are there pieces of your sanity locked away forevermore?

Having demons control your life is such an intrusion,

But what if these monsters you see are just an illusion?

What if to open the doors to your salvation didn’t require a key?

What if you just need someone to believe in you and what you want to be?

In a fight with your demons you will never win,

So lock them behind the doors never to be seen again.

It doesn’t matter what you think is down below or what’s up above.

If you want your soul to shine, you have to find someone to love.
