The Long Lost

I've started to ask so many questions in a world
With so few answers
What can truly change the thought of man
When denial of love has become greater than love itself?

The triumph of hate seems to be the only
Thing keeping us awake
Open your eyes
We are the long lost
The thought of running blind brings no deliverance to me

Shackles and chains hold us down as one by one
The long lost find comfort in this security
It seems like I'm alone, but I feel so alive
Why do I do this to myself?
Oh God, why do I do this to myself?

With empty hands I'll show I'm ready to begin again
This new life where the victim is not myself
Con! The thought of knowing I have found something
With meaning gives me strength to walk away
From the long lost, and set these shackles and chains free
I've learned in life to never let a single failure
Ever get the best of me
Even when your world falls apart
For us, this will just be the start
