Lost

Watch the time tick by

As my lips chap, and dry

I found myself in a dessert

And my face covered in sand and dirt

I can't find my way out

I tried not to doubt

But it's hard to think I'll survive

When I can't find water to stay alive

Maybe the world's trying to teach me

Maybe there's something I have yet to see

But am I just trying to make sense of chaos

Am I trying to rationalize my loss

Still all I can see is the yellow

And the teasing thought of tomorrow

And I feel like I can't climb out of a ditch

Payback's certainly a b***h

I took what I wanted without a second thought

Ignoring all the morals I'd been taught

I made friends, but I made an enemy

And it's name is jealousy

Maybe the world's trying to teach me

Maybe there's something I have yet to see

But am I just trying to make sense of chaos

Am I trying to rationalize my loss

A good thief wears a mask

But let me ask

Without people to fool

How good is that tool

As good as I was, I'm no good anymore

And what did I use that money for

Just to buy confidence, and a false image

And now I've lost my societal privilege

The world's trying to teach me

There was something I had yet to see

Now I lay with dry lips, and begin to die

I'm bitter, and regretful of living a lie
