Found & Lost

it's just a step away
from my mind
to my hand
it's just a light behind
the eyes you've taken too kind

god's not absent
just looking the other way
still might be good
if you decided to pray

we're not leaving you
just abandoning you
to the you you deserve
the only love you've ever served

it's just a step away
from my mind
to my hand
it's just a light behind
the eyes you've taken too kind

i'm the devil with a halo
you would hesitate but still allow
to come into your home
i'm the lonely stranger
begging you for every stare
just to leave you alone

i asked for nothing but you
it's just something too lost to find
a thing returned from too many buyers
a rose, full until allowed to breathe

it's just a step away
from my mind
to my hand
it's just a light behind
the eyes you've taken too kind

a light
you prayed to find

found
and lost
