Not Always Lost

Not always lost, but alone
Scattered by the tempest our fears kept spilled and were swept
Away as the surrogates of despair slept
Cradled in the deceitful hands of trust

Broken hearts compel, freedom to search
Behind the walls of the unseen garden
Stop crying, deny the subconscious
Its ability to ease the pain

And self consuming desperation
With prowess imperfection enters a lie
Raging storm a possibility
Penitent thoughts seek illegitimate pardons

Loneliness compares to nothing else
When inflicted by selfish separation

Not always lost, but seemingly alone
Unwilling hearts cannot be kept
Not always lost, but necessarily alone
Open eyes tracing every step
Not always lost, but desperately alone

It seems no matter when you lose yourself
You're always lost, so lost and blind

Direction can't regain sight in darkness
Is if nothing else a blindfolded walk on the bigoted scales of spite
Refusing to believe any more of misleading words and
Presumed truth relying on mistaken paths to take the sight

Out of my eyes granting my heart
Another chance to stand assured to a guided clear view

Not always lost, but seemingly alone
Unwilling hearts cannot be kept
Not always lost but necessarily alone
Open eyes tracing every step
Not always lost, but desperately alone
