Forgotten Child lyrics

A sliver of star dances through my sky
To crash into another lifetime
Always the journey never the destination

Those lovely columns of fanged smoke
Wander through plastic gardens
Where kisses blown at a forgotten love

Still drift looking for a face in a world of masks
I see a light on a dead horizon
Glowing like a bed of sapphires in a sea of ash

But it's a distraction and nothing more
Just an instrument to measure the darkness
That swallows me from time to time
