Missing Person

(mws lyrics)

Guarded and cynical now

Cant help but wondering how

My heart evolved into a

Rock beating inside of me

So I reel, such a stoic ordeal

Wheres that feeling that I dont feel? 

Under a lavender moon

So many thoughts consume me

Who dimmed that glowing light

That once burned so bright in me

Is this a radical phase

A problematical age

That keeps me running

From all that I used to be?


Is there a way to return

Is there a way to unlearn

That carnal knowledge

Thats chipping away at my soul

Ive been gone too long

Will I ever find my way home?


There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain

And like a child he would believe without a reason

Without a trace he disappeared into the void and

Ive been searching for that missing person

He used to want to try to walk the straight and narrow

He had a fire and he could feel it in the marrow

Its been a long time and I havent seen him lately but

Ive been searching for that missing person

i resemble these thoughts too...

as you've said before -- it won't be the same. it is possible to strike a match and re-light hope's flame. It may not burn with the same innocence and naivete, but it will burn more brightly with wisdom gained by an understanding of our own weakness and sinful nature.
