The night sky turns to fire
Not flames but emotion
My dark burning desire
A vast searing ocean
The morning light blinds me
Not sun but stark despair
Won’t you seek and find me
I’ve searched but you’re not there
I’ve lost you in the chaos
I’ve lost you in the storm
Sadistic fate’s betrayed us
Dangling deceitful charm
Causing our psyches harm
I’ve lost you in the chaos
Each shadow’s your shadow
Each lightning strike your eyes
Each howling wind I know
Your voice decries my lies
Your weeping drowns my soul
Your sneering ignites fear
My losing all control
Forced you to flee from here
I’ve lost you in the chaos
I’ve lost you in the storm
Sadistic fate’s betrayed us
Dangling deceitful charm
Causing our psyches harm
I’ve lost you in the chaos
I’ve lost you in the chaos
I’ve lost you in the…
I’ve lost you in…
I’ve lost you…
I’ve lost you…
I’ve lost you…
