Lyrics
LOST
by Joi Veer
Trapped and left to bear the cost.
Inside this maze, I'm forever lost.
I've been fed the poison pill.
It's been passed down thru the ages and controlled my will.
Why - why do I still resist
The truth I cannot swallow - my reason to exist.
Time ran out on me, and I followed right behind-
And never waved good-bye.
LOST in a maze of lamenting.
There is no repenting as I'm crashing to the end.
LOST in the life I'm re-living.
There is no forgiving these crimes I can't defend.
I'm a victim of my way.
There's no hope for what's within me to see the light of day.
And now - now I'm in this maze of doubt.
No hidden passage to escape thru - there's only one way out.
So lost.
LOST in a maze of lamenting.
There is no repenting as I'm crashing to the end.
LOST in the life I'm re-living.
There is no forgiving these crimes I can't defend.
Save this soul without a home.
My conscience knows know better than to follow where I roam.
But maybe - maybe if someone comforts me,
Something will somehow turn my head around and I'll be free.
Time ran out on me, and I followed right behind-
And never even waved good-bye.
LOST in a maze of lamenting.
There is no repenting as I'm crashing to the end.
LOST in the life I'm re-living.
There is no forgiving these crimes I can't defend.
Trapped and left to bear the cost.
Inside this maze, I'm forever lost.
