Unfound Songtext
You gave your love to God, till he stole it from your bed and there you wept
For forty years inside of your head

You saved the written word from an almost certain death but never read
The final page of the journal you kept

But long before he found you
You left your traces so permanent, so permanent

Before you leave
You let him make his peace
Tie all the strands and loose ends
And honestly
I never saw him in me
But I hope someone else does
For all his fears and his flaws

Deteriorate the mind, stealing all its blinding light, now tell me
why
Is it sacrifice, for all of mankind

Only the bravest one, who has tears turned into blood will soon be blind
Is it irony or the cruelty of time
But long before he found you
You left your traces so permanent, so permanent

Before you leave
You let him make his peace
Tie all the strands and loose ends
And honestly
I never saw him in me
But I hope someone else does
For all his faith and his flaws

Carried to the deathbed, by the ones you've come to love though names are lost
“But Father, can I ask you this?
Do you ever think... will it come to this? ‘Hello, I am your son'?”

Before you leave
You let him make his peace
Tie all the strands and loose ends
And honestly
I never saw him in me
But I hope someone else does
For all his faith and his flaws
