One

Floating like driftwood 
  Enslaved by the sea 
  Resolutely refusing to die 
  Without amnesty 

  He? tossed by the waves 
  He? all out of flares 
  Nobody saves 
  Nobody cares 
  Dehydrated lips speak words of despair 
  In unanswered prayer 
  Amidst a sea of words 
  He only hears the sound of sea birds 
  Who only whisper of a world beyond the waves 
  And all those points of light 
  The gently winking stars of night 
  Not out of sight but still his eyes are glazed 
  And 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 waves 

  Stupid and headstrong 
  She stands on the beach 
  She? calling his name out 
  But he doesn't hear her voice from where 
  His vessel so small 
  Boat? bullied by waves 
  To nowhere at all 
  Dehydrated lips speak words of despair 
  In unanswered prayer 
  Amidst a sea of words He only hears the sound of sea birds 
  Who only whisper of a world beyond the waves 
  And all those points of light 
  The gently winking stars of night 
  Not out of sight but still his eyed are glazed 

  Keep calling his name 
  Keep calling perhaps he'll hear you 
  Keep calling his name 
  Maybe now he's not the one 

  The one who? 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 sea 
  The one who? lost at sea. 

  Floating like driftwood.
