I was living close to the ground 
When I heard the sound 
Of silence in the chaos 
Of summer in the snow 
And I let it fall 
Because I just do not know 
What to do anymore
Yes, I aimless drift
And I have to admit 
My relinquishment was a gift 
As it took it all from me
It was out of my hands 
And I loved that boy
Who loved heavy metal bands
But he told me to get lost 
And to go find a soul 
Who could bear the tide
Of the waves that roll 
And I do not forget him 
And I do not grieve 
I just let it go 
And let him believe 
That he has won the fight 
That he owns the day
I could feel the abandonment 
In the words he say
To me when he release 
Me from the leash 
And now he is studying 
To be somebody’s priest 
But he will never anoint 
Nor will he ever announce
The dawn that broke on me 
When I renounce
All that I am 
For everything I could be 
I just let him look
And hoped that he would see
And as he passed over the obvious 
I could not believe
That I had lost my heart 
To one who wears his on his sleeve
