Lost Song

i had nine lives but i lost all of them
and ive been searching in the night
and ive been searching in the rain
i tried to find them
but they disappeared
they walked away
they dressed in black
they left my side
and all i say
is that i wasted time
when i looked for them
for now i know that things gone past
are never to be found again
no never
never again
i had nine lives
but i lost all of them

i had a plan
but never finished it
and ive been searching for the thought
and ive been searching in a haze
i try all days
to remember it
but now the blueprint in my mind has gone
my mind forgot the colour of direction
and my eyes
they see the hands
that could've built
that could have constructed the empire in my mind
the empire
i'll never find
i had a plan
but that was where it ended...
