Grant Kimura - Lost (acoustic)
Channel: Grant Kimura
Date: 2019-12-29

I haven't written many songs that aren't guised in vague metaphor. Occasionally, as I'm writing a song, vivid scenes will play out in my mind, and I'll do my best to put these images into words. This is one of those songs.

These stories are never based upon anything in reality, and rarely do these songs have any basis on my emotional state. I like to think of these songs as reverse soundtracks for movies that will never be.

naked on his throne
deathly pale and hair far overgrown
his kingdom's lost and death's forgotten him
for ten, long lonely years

his daughter was a whore
the prince he had was rotten to the core
his wife the traitor, neveeeeerrrr 
could kept a secret to herself


[chorus]
he's lost beside himself
and his crown means nothing anymore
what little hope has died
a man betrayed, lost forevermore


he looks up to the sky
he cant imagine another, better life
he stands to walk away from his charade
towards where his family waits

they pounce upon him, no feelings of remorse
their greed was hunger, not human anymore
the mighty king hath fallen
he was happy in the end

[chorus]

lost and weary
there's no one
see so clearly
lost, again, forgotten
