Lost & Found
...I kept that nugget that I put in the ground

I picked up that nugget and I tossed it around
Young enough to be lost - to be found
I forgot the taste, then the sound
Then I pushed that shit deep - into the ground

This again - this
Sour taste, bitter sound
This again - this
Gone to ground and back around again....

I turned away as somebody said
It's good to have you back - in my head
The wheels come off or the walls cave in
Or any other way that it reaches the end
I dug it up and I threw it down
Old enough not to be lost - not to be found

This again - this
Sour taste, bitter sound
This again - this
Gone to ground and back around again....

I turned away and inside I said
it's good to have you back - in my head
So I kept that nugget that I put in the ground
When I was old enough - to be found
