We lost it in the flood   We lost it on the way      Every passerby   Might be a forgotten person   We lost along the way   Ringing phonetics we don't don't hear every line   But is a stranger really an enemy   Or something lost or forgotten in someone's forgotten mind      Pleasure me now   Make me think   Not wonder around thinking I'm lost in the tide   Hold you close   I'll hold on tight   This storybook won't tell you why      Canvas of skin   Canvas of hide   Blood covered remembrance of what once was   What we lost in the flood      Years ago   Melody hums   Like their blazing guns   Crypt keeper is it my turn to lead   The band of hell   From a future of empty shells   One last night would be nice   But God we're only lab mice   And love is just a way for them to make a mockery of us      Cage me away   Cast me aside   I'm just another passer by to the rest of them   Its what we lost in the flood   Stranger I tell you its hard enough   To say that I'm not entwined in romance   But I have found love
