Jill Padilla - Perdido...lost without a reason

a wave that never reaches shore
a stream that never meets the ocean
i am lost without a destination

in the heat of the day
i am burning in the sun
i can find no shade
and i have no strength to look for it

my heart freezes in the darkness
of the cold night
and there is no fire to warm me
and no promise of light

without you
i am searching
always searching
for a reason to breathe
and a reason to live

strands of hair fall into my eyes
and i am without the will to move them
my lips are dried and cracked
and i have no desire to wet them

the stars and their light
never reach my eyes
i am without hope to ever gaze upon them
without thinking of you
and so i have stopped looking

in my desperation
i have taken my heart beat
and placed it into a drum that will never beat
whose rhythm does not exist
hands will never reach for it
ears will never hear it
and my body will never feel
the pleasure of the beating

like a thief that comes in the night
and steals only the treasure
that is valued the most
you have taken my heart
and left without any fingerprints,
without any trace of how to find you

i have no trace of you
existing here with me
except my broken heart

give me a reason
give me something
give me anything
i am lost without a reason
