Mandala - The Dear Hunter

I lost my place in the world

It left me behind

Now my soul is unbound

And my mind is free to roam around and around…

Thoughts drip down to words on a page

Scrawled in a foreign tongue

Circles tending toward the center

Lead you back to none

You can cry, you can beg, you can plead, you can pray…

You may doubt it, apathetic

But you never had control

You saw what you wanted

But the rest was terrible

Pull back the curtain

And reveal the guilty

So the veil can be lifted

And the well will overflow

You’ve been here before

You’ve seen it all

But your conscience won’t recall

And your eyes are barely wide enough

To recognize what your heart keeps giving up

And someday it might win

If your mind’s giving in

Just try to lose yourself

Or do your best till then
