I know where the missing socks go

Where the pencils fall once rolling off the edge

I know where the hair ties lie once being placed

To be never seen again

I know where the necklaces go

Suddenly gone after swimming, ripped from the neck

I know where all the tears go when they drip from your eyes

Your smiles in the shadows, lost.. this was your demise

They seem so lost but yet the happiness stays locked away

And no matter what you do it doesn’t seem to stay

Those socks don’t become found, as you search through your drawers

Not knowing the place as time just runs faster

I know where the make up brushes go after a morning of rush

I know where the confidence goes after a crowd walks by

I know where the stars go after the sun rise

And I know where the time goes after deep breaths don’t work

And where sense go when an escape becomes just words

Where the blood goes once the sky flies too high

And where the love goes when someone dies

Things never just disappear, they’ve got their place to fall

Like a memory in an old shelf or a life lived for too long

I know chances line up in line in a book

I know tears fall into dirt that grows into life

The pencil that falls finds its way into the hands of an author

And the socks find a journey that your feet could never carry

I know the stars just hide away into the night

And that time becomes a race track across pages full of ink

I know sometimes that these things don’t seem right

But there’s a time and place for everything
