Riverside — Deprived (Irretrievably Lost Imagination) lyrics

Lyrics

I live surrounded by cherished memories
I have a weakness for collecting them
Alphabetize
As far as I recall my childish rituals
Icons of that world
always filled my shelves and heart
Now I shelter from the rain
Hole up in my cage
You don’t have to think too much today
They filled in for your brain
Curled up — Deprived
Curled up — Deprived
I shut away
In a world of synonyms
and handwritten notes
My own puppet performances
Endless bedtime stories
I could touch the moon
and switch off the sun
I could have my dreams
and dream about better times
Now I shelter from the rain
Hole up in my cage
You don’t have to think too much today
They filled in for your brain
Curled up — Deprived
Curled up — Deprived
I shut away
Please don’t call my name
