We are the last of the sleepless ones
Left behind by those we left behind tonight
Quiet now let the poison take
Were we always just your lost cause mistakes?

Wait for me, will you wait for me?
Need you on my side
Way for me, make way for me
With arms wide

Alone, left alone
Watch us slowly disappear with time
Unknown, still unknown
Forgotten, lost, and left behind

Dark lit streets are no place for kids
But it gives us more of a home than you ever did
We’re the silentist’s left to our own demise
You’re still our last chance to get out of this place alive

Wait for me, will you wait for me
With arms wide?

Alone, left alone
Watch us slowly disappear with time
Unknown, still unknown
Forgotten, lost, and left behind

Alone, left alone
Watch us slowly disappear with time

Alone, left alone
Watch us slowly disappear with time
Unknown, still unknown
Forgotten, lost!

Behind the Song:
'This song was written about a documentary I saw on National Geographic about homeless kids and my first hand experience with those less fortunate that I witnessed in Los Angeles. It was hard to think that no one cared, and that the more I drove by the less I did. They just become fixtures… their lack became normal. Its not that they left, they just became invisible to me. Quickly I realized my error, wrote this song and worked with an organization called RED EYE in LA to try to do my part.' - Stephen Christian
