Homecoming

Floating like driftwood
Slaved by the sea
Resolutely refusing to die
Without amnestyHe's tossed by the waves
He's all out of flares
Nobody saves, nobody cares
Dehydrated lips speak words of despair
Unanswered prayerAmidst the sea of words
(Amidst the sea of words)
He only hears the sound of sea birds
Who only whisper of a world beyond the wavesAnd all those points of light
(All those points of light)
The gently winking stars of night
Not out of sight but still his eyes are glazedAnd though his eyes perforate the horizon
He still can't find escape from his world
He lifts his head in unwanted motion
But he can't see himself tonight
Just broken starlight and wavesStupid and headstrong
She stands on the beach
She's calling his name out
But he doesn't hear her voice from whereHis vessel so small
Boat's bullied by waves to nowhere at all
Dehydrated lips speak words of despair
Unanswered prayerAmidst the sea of words
(Amidst the sea of words)
He only hears the sound of sea birds
Who only whisper of a world beyond the wavesAnd all those points of light
(All those points of light)
The gently winking stars of night
Not out of sight but still his eyed are glazedKeep calling his name
Keep calling, perhaps he'll hear you
Keep calling his name
Maybe now he's not the oneThe one who's exiled form the world of you and me
The one who can't be reached,the one who's lost at sea
The one whose social skills have gone to atrophy
The one who drifts apart, the one who's lost at seaThe one who's lost at sea
The one who's lost at sea
The one who's lost at sea
The one who's lost at seaThe one who's lost at sea
The one who's lost at sea
The one who's lost at sea
The one who's lost at seaThe one who's lost at sea
The one who's lost at sea
The one who's lost at sea
The one who's lost at seaThe one who's lost at sea
The one who's lost at sea
The one who's lost at sea
The one who's lost at seaThe one whose
