I wanna be lost, I don’t wanna be found
Because being found is just like sitting around
Where being lost one has to find
A way out
An escape route
The variable to the equation
Their own inspiration, for what to do in life

I wanna be lost in music
I want it to fill my ear
I want it to take me to places I’ve never been
I want it to be sincere
And come from the heart
I don’t wanna hear music about gangsters and hoes
I wanna hear ART.

I wanna be lost in the scene of a beautiful painting
I want the colors to sing a song
I want them to pull me into the scene
And I want you to come along
To witness what happens
When one thinks on their own
And just imagines

I wanna be lost walking in the middle of no where
Where nobody goes
A place where nobody talks about
A place that nobody knows
Where I can believe what I want
And not have to worry about the ignorant

I wanna be lost in the silence of the night
So that I can feel absolute peace
So that no one can find me
Not even the police
Across the line where no man has ever crossed
That is where I want to remain lost

I wanna be lost inside your head
So that I can see what you're seeing
Hear what your hearing
And feel what your feeling
So that I can better understand YOU

I wanna get LOST.
