Welcome to The Land of Misfit Toys

i don't know when it started

so i won't know how it ends

all I know is i'm alone

lost with no one to turn to

i suppose it's my own damn fault

i shut everybody out

and hid from the sun

never knowing i needed them

i'm adrift

not knowing when i'll next see land

or who if anyone will be there waiting

is it worth it

should i carry on

my little boat is filling up

with salty tears

that make up my ocean

and then i sleep

i think i'll sleep forever

waves of my own lonelyness

drag me under

i don't expect to wake

but find myself

on a sandy shore

in a place too nice for me

"all lost things find their way here eventually"

he says with a smile

"we collect them you see"

he's odd but kind

"welcome, traveller, to the land of misfit toys

we'll adopt you

take you in

and never think ill of you at all"

and here i've stayed

and at some point i realized that

everyone has their own island

their own savior

and the island is the one who'll find you

just when you need it most

it'll come and lead you

to the family you choose
