Wasteland

Like a shadow -
The light of which has run dry -
In sync and awry
"Help me, train me, believe me" -
Take it or leave it -
Yours isn't mine

Build what bridges are due -
Embrace what is true -
"No this wouldn't do"
And what can you say....
When sayings run stray?

All but one, all but one -
Can you save us?
The past has come
And the lines are drawn
Paint the world
as the ignorant see it
In false and true,
in me, them and you

Hold the light to the pane -
All warped and reclaimed -
No need to complain
"Aid me, light me the way" -
And don't mind that I -
Can't see with my eyes

Build what bridges are due -
Embrace what is true -
"No this wouldn't do"
And what can you say....
When sayings run stray?

All but one, all but one -
Can you save us?
The past has come
And the lines are drawn
Paint the world
as the ignorant see it
In false and true,
in me, them and you

And if you won't help me
I have to make it on my own
There's no place I could be
The king and queen have lost their throne

Loud, not loud enough -
They talk to the moon -
And live in the tune
Left, no right is the way -
To keep them at bay -
With hands made of clay

Build what bridges are due -
Embrace what is true -
"No this wouldn't do"
And what can you say....
When sayings run stray?

All but one, all but one -
Can you save us?
The past has come
And the lines are drawn
Paint the world
as the ignorant see it
In false and true,
in me, them and you
