about

The Scavenger must overcome his fear of the outside world to find the first thing he saw upon leaving his prison. An angel. When he does find her, she is terrified by him and runs, leaving him to question everything.

lyrics

Never lost, never found, never gained
Never took, never borrowed, never blamed
He never learned to speak, or eat what the others eat
They locked him away

A curse of fate brought about by a prophet
A tragic end before it had begun
Well he hopes to find the melody
Cause he's sure that it's the remedy
To all the malice none of which he is to blame

But while it's night
We seek the light
Shying away from what we know is in the shadows
And while it's day
We hide away
From the world we've never known forever

"Hey, Hey"
Why are you hiding?
"Stay, Stay"
Sitting here idly
Will you sit around and decompose
Or will you stand up to the world
"Hey, Hey"
Don't come back till you find her
"Pray, Pray"
Pray that nobody else has taken her away from you
I think it's time to come up for some air

But while it's night
We seek the light
Shying away from what we know is in the shadows
And while it's day
We hide away
From the world we've never know

Don't come near me
Don't revere me
Pray to someone else
Cause I am
Not your savior
Or salvation
Leave me be
Please have you lost your mind

There's nothing left
I gave you all I had to give
But in no time
You threw me to the side
Let me be the one to set us free from life

Don't come near me
Don't revere me
Pain is not the end I fear
I'm not your savior
Do you favor
Those who died
Before the ones alive
