(And I know...) is not an ocean, not an island, not a road If I don't know where I from How do I where to go? It's not where you're from, not where at It's your going... and I am going home (And I know...) is not an ocean, not an island, not a road If I know where I come from How do I know to go?

...to where? The land of the souls Feeling the loneliness that really only exists in foster homes How many images of missing kids can be fit onto a milk Framed, they're to look the same to say his name, and claim privileges As if found HIM! The little kids surrounding the circle of false friendship of fire are connected at the elbow Cause they're tired, moms let go The Velcro light component that there unit cohesive the music! So we give reasons to get sober Life to hum to These kids Red Rover? I look for weaknesses to run through With reckless abandon, they're standin', to go down The pinballs in their bounce between abusive homes now If its fight or flight, they'll just to throw down Ain't nothing like a dead horse, riding it through a ghost town I with no sound...
