Lost At Sea

Floating like driftwood
Enslaved by the sea
Resolutely refusing to die
Without amnesty
Hes tossed by the waves
Hes all out of flares
Nobody saves
Nobody cares
Dehydrated lips speak words of despair
In unanswered prayer
Amidst a sea of words
He only hears the sound of sea birds
Who only whisper of a world beyond the waves
And all those points of light
The gently winking stars of night
Not out of sight but still his eyes are glazed
And though his eyes perforate the horizon
He still can’t find escape from his world
He lifts his head in unwanted motion
But he can’t see himself tonight
Just broken starlight
And waves
Stupid and headstrong
She stands on the beach
Shes calling his name out
But he doesn’t hear her voice from where
His vessel so small
Boats bullied by waves
To nowhere at all
Dehydrated lips speak words of despair
In unanswered prayer
Amidst a sea of words He only hears the sound of sea birds
Who only whisper of a world beyond the waves
And all those points of light
The gently winking stars of night
Not out of sight but still his eyed are glazed
Keep calling his name
Keep calling perhaps he’ll hear you
Keep calling his name
Maybe now he’s not the one
The one whos exiled form the world of you and me The one who can’t be reached the one who’s lost at sea
The one whose social skills have gone to atrophy
The one who drifts apart the one who’s lost at sea
The one whos lost at sea.
Floating like driftwood.
