An envelope unsealed by the rain To lay out the cause and to pass on the pain And the girl: face down at the edge of the lake Where she paid for her sins with what she made on the take With an empty syringe and some blood-stained glass To Elysia - where she slowly passed As she lays there still she is bathed in grit Her long brown hair on the surface sits Her long white blouse which is torn and slashed reveals her arms which are bruised and tracked As she lay there still she is bathed in grit Her long brown hair on the surface sits About 20 yards up a nearby road Are the charred remains of the car she stole Parked on the edge of a steel stoned hill That does down to the lake, where she lays there still The sun on the water which scatters light Reveals her shadow that mimics life As if she basked by the shore, full of life as before Deceptive, unsure and above all misleading And standing there as the waves lap your shoes You can't understand the why's and the who's As you breathe the air you can almost taste The loss of hope and the senseless waste As you breathe the air you can almost taste The loss of hope and the senseless waste As you breathe the air you can almost taste The loss of hope and the senseless waste As you breathe the air you can almost taste The loss of hope and the senseless waste As you breathe the air you can almost taste The loss of hope and the senseless waste
