When you first started out

Began this episode

You had nothing but doubt

What did the future hold?



You hardly knew the world

Perhaps you never will

Jaded at twenty four

You thought you'd had your fill



Along the road you might

Have missed your share of turns

Stood in the fire's light

Received your share of burns



I wish your eyes would open

And you might find

We swam a common ocean

One stroke behind



Lost

The illusion of control

The delusion of your soul

Life will take its toll



Lost

Messing with your mind

Happens every time

Holding on tonight



You are much older now

Time makes a person wise

And yet in many ways

You wear the same disguise



A certain golden rule

You fail to ascertain

Your little fantasies

Can never dull the pain



They never had your love

They only held you back

You take no hostages

When you attack



The world's your enemy

And so you scream and shout

You got the last word in

That's all you care about



Lost

The illusion of control

The delusion of your soul

Life will take its toll



Lost

Messing with your mind

Happens every time

Holding on tonight
