To see
That two years ago
I lost me.
Where did I go?
Old scars remind me
Of the time
I left myself
And didn�t return.
Where did I go?
Scrawled words
Cry out from the page
For help
I�m two years too late.
Where did I go?
I ask myself that
Over and over.
I am here in essence
But the new me's
Just not the same.
Where did that happy
Boy go?
This man I see today
Is nothing to me.
Just a face in the mirror,
No warmth in his eyes
No warmth in his heart.
Just bitter and tainted.
Where did that happy
Boy go?
I work and I play
And time slowly ticks by.
Nothing to show for that time,
Just words on a page
Bitter and tainted
Like the mind from which they sprang.
Where did I go?
And why did I stay
Is life that unbearable with me?
Oh where did that happy
Boy go?
Loveless and lifeless
Both body and soul
Bitter and tainted.
Where did I go?
