Floating like driftwood 
Enslaved by the sea 
Resolutely refusing to die 
Without amnesty 

He’s tossed by the waves 
He’s all out of flares 
Nobody saves 
Nobody cares 
Dehydrated lips speak words of despair 
In unanswered prayer 
Amidst a sea of words 
He only hears the sound of sea birds 
Who only whisper of a world beyond the waves 
And all those points of light 
The gently winking stars of night 
Not out of sight but still his eyes are glazed 
And though his eyes perforate the horizon 
He still can't find escape from his world 
He lifts his head in unwanted motion 
But he can't see himself tonight 
Just broken starlight 
And waves 

Stupid and headstrong 
She stands on the beach 
She’s calling his name out 
But he doesn't hear her voice from where 
His vessel so small 
Boat’s bullied by waves 
To nowhere at all 
Dehydrated lips speak words of despair 
In unanswered prayer 
Amidst a sea of words He only hears the sound of sea birds 
Who only whisper of a world beyond the waves 
And all those points of light 
The gently winking stars of night 
Not out of sight but still his eyed are glazed 

Keep calling his name 
Keep calling perhaps he'll hear you 
Keep calling his name 
Maybe now he's not the one

The one who’s exiled form the world of you and me 
The one who can't be reached the one who's lost at sea 
The one whose social skills have gone to atrophy 
The one who drifts apart the one who's lost at sea 
The one who’s lost at sea. 

Floating like driftwood.
