SONG:Missing Person

Missing person
Still searching for that boy who had the faith to move a mountain. want the fire back.
Another question in me
one for the powers that be
it's got me thrown and so
i put on my poker face
and try to figure it out
this undeniable doubt
a common occurrence
feeling so out of place
Guarded and cynical now
can't help but wondering how
my heart evolved into a
rock beating inside of me
so i reel, such a stoic ordeal
where's that feeling that i don't feel?
Chorus:
There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain
and like a child he would believe without a reason
without a trace he disappeared into the void and
i've been searching for that missing person
Under a lavender moon
so many thoughts consume me
who dimmed that glowing light
that once burned so bright in me
is this a radical phase
a problematical age
that keeps me running
from all that i used to be
Is there a way to return
is there a way to unlearn
that carnal knowledge
that's chipping away at my soul
i've been gone too long
will i ever find my way home?
Chorus:
There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain
and like a child he would believe without a reason
without a trace he disappeared into the void and
i've been searching for that missing person
he used to want to try to walk the straight and narrow
he had a fire and he could feel it in the marrow
it's been a long time and i haven't seen him lately but
i've been searching for that missing person
