No One Is Lost

Two were doing the tango

The river flowed by imbued

Saltines covered in mango

Words are misconstrued

The songs carry their feeling

Dreams are held oh so tight

Dogs howling the light of the moon

In love is a secret delight

Her lips were drenched in liquor

He saw in their eyes he was doomed

Backroom deals without reason

Elevated in broken rooms

One rose was left in the end

A hill no one dared climb

Sacrifice in the face of tension

A world no one designed

Possessions in the eyes of the law

Exorcism comes with a cost

Heart beats a steady rhythm

In a sense no one is lost

Oh to dream forever

Oh to do what is right

In a world where one must

Close the window shut out the light
