Album: Patterns In The Static

Verse 1
I'm a liar if it looks like I know what I'm doing
The bitter truth is
It's like I'm standing in the center of a big intersection
Asking directions

Pre-Chorus
But no one slows
They got places to go
And they don't see me but I
Just need a ride to an office
Or a job application (Yeah, right)
Maybe I'll fake them

Chorus
Oh, I lost my way
Another lonely ghost
Back from the barren plain
So I'll just wait
For all the doors to close
Take me away again

Verse 2
I am the patron saint of chaos
If you pray I will answer with nothing
How I survived out there without wasting away
It's a cosmic mystery

Pre-Chorus 2
And I don't want to go back, no
But it's clear nobody wants me here
So when they're tired they can look to the horizon and find me
Just a shadow shimmering

Chorus
Oh, I lost my way
Another lonely ghost
Back from the barren plain
So I'll just wait
For all the doors to close
And take me away again
Take me away again
Take me away again

Bridge
All I've known
Is a wasteland as my home
So I will go
When all the doors close again
They never let me back in
Not after where I've been
I'm just an alien
I'm just an alien

Chorus
Oh, I lost my way
Another lonely ghost
Back from the barren plain
So I'll just wait
For all the doors to close
Take me away again
Take me away again
Take me away again

Ending
They never let me back in
Not after where I've been
I'm just an alien
I'm just an alien
