Memnoch

Childhood slipped away
So now I'm a boy among men
Where's my mommy?
Where's my dad?
Gentle words and candy kisses

Lost without you
Lost without me
Lost within me

Where's my safe place gone?
I went there once to hide
But the bogeyman moved in
He pays rent

I don't pay rent
I have no say
I have no control
I'm lost and I'm falling and I
I just don't know where I go from here

Listening to her mourn
She's softly praying to God
What do I do now?
What do I do now?

I can't help but wonder
What do I do now?
Comfort is become alien
So much time to think
Too much time to think
Thinking takes too much time

Where do I go with this?
What do I have anymore?
My wits, my love
Have been scattered over the earth
And if I could just find them again
Maybe I could make ammends.
