lyrics

And where they’ve gone is everybody’s secret,
But nobody lives to tell,
It’s like spending your everyday life in heaven,
And your vacation in hell,
And freedom is just a hiding place,
But now there’s no stone left unturned,
Desire is just your flushed cheeks,
But now there’s no fire that’s not been burned.

Oh oh where are the lost boys,
Oh oh where are the lost girls,
They gave their wishes to the stars and got
taken by the world.

It was like a light thru dark places,
And when morning came the light just blended in,
And you wonder how far to fall before the bottom,
And how much salvation before a taste of sin,
And for the heart’s construction what miner’s pride,
And there; living overwhelms all that could be life,
And you call this foe your friend and you make this whore your wife.

Oh oh where are the lost boys,
Oh oh where are the lost girls,
They gave their wishes to the stars and got
taken by the world.

And the reason is lost in the excuse,
Nights spent just trying to focus the days,
And the feelings are left numbed by the senses,
And the why’s are left wandering thru the ways,
And all this time is spent redeeming the paradox,
And will a question ever be admitted by an answer,
Or is it just like a hurt lover who changes the locks,
Oh who can stop this guilt that eats innocence like a cancer.
