Gone So Long

Count mistakes on your fingers and toes
Your chances are running out
Going back to where you were when you started without knowing how
Impatience and misfortune excel inside me
You are hiding in the shadow of who you used to be

Do you count down the hours
Like I count your wilting flowers?

Your subconscious is a guilty child starved out of his mind
Punching the ceiling out of time with his own cries
I've seen you in the best light and we thrive in the night
Weighing a lifetime full of innocence against the darkest of times

Do you count down the hours
Like I count your wilting flowers?

Where have you gone?
I've been lost so long
Where have you gone?
I've been lost so long

Do you count down the hours
Like I count your wilting flowers?
