lost in despair Lyrics

In my youth I was pure and bright

An innocent soul bathed in golden light

But time took a toll, innocence was lost

Now I find solace in the matter of cost

Through the shattered pieces of my dreams

I search for a meaning, it's not as it seems

Oh the pain of a childhood erased

Drugs and alcohol my desperate embrace

I traded my innocence for a high

But deep down inside I'm longing to fly

Longing to fly

Once a child full of dreams and hope

Now I drown my sorrows trying to cope

In the haze of smoke and bottles embraced

I find respite from life's cruel face

Amidst the numbness I still yearn

For the days when my spirit used to burn

I search for redemption, a glimmer of light

To reclaim my innocence and make things right

Oh the pain of a childhood erased

Drugs and alcohol my desperate embrace

I traded my innocence for a high

But deep down inside I'm longing to fly

Longing to fly
