Forgotten
(May 5th, 2004)

Been locked in the dark so long
I've forgotten the sun
Trapped in the rain for ages
And I can't remember clear skies

Been forced to from so much
I've forgotten how to smile
Ignored emotion half my life
And I can't remember feeling

Been compelled to give it all
I've forgotten how to keep it
Voiced a lie too often
And I can't remember truth

Been blind for so many years
I've forgotten how to see
Held my tongue too often
I can't remember free speech

Been covering my face so long
I've forgotten my own image
Bruised for a life time now
I don't remember how to heal

Been crawling for years and years
I've forgotten how to stand
Loved in the dark so long
I don't know how to tell you
