Lyrics
Another question in me

Out for the powers that be

It's got me thrown and so I

Put on my poker face

And try to figure it out

This undeniable doubt

A common occurrence

Feeling so out of place

Guarded and cynical now

Can't help out wondering now

My heart evolved into a

Rock beating inside of me

So I reel, such a stoic ordeal

Where's that feeling that I don't feel

Chorus

There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain

And like a child he would believe without a reason

Without a trace he disappeared into the void and

I've been searching for that missing person

Under a lavender moon

So many thoughts consume me

Who dimmed that glowing light

That once burned so bright in me

Is this a radical phase

A problematic age

That keeps me running

From all that I used to be

Is there a way to return

Is there a way to unlearn

That carnal knowledge

That's chipping away at my soul

Have I been gone too long

Will I ever find my way home

Chorus

He used to want to try to walk the straight and narrow

Ha had a fire and he could feel it in the narrow

It's been a long time and I haven't seen him lately, though

I've been searching for that missing person

Bridge:

For that missing person

For that missing person

Oh oh, oh oh

Chorus

He used to want to try to walk the straight and narrow

Ha had a fire and he could feel it in the narrow

It's been a long time and I haven't seen him lately, though

I've been searching for that missing person

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Where are you?

Where are you?
