In The Wilderness

Mommy’s not at home tonight
This story’s less than new
She requested our absence
We thought it was nonsense
But she’s in the wilderness tonight

The pills stay untouched
And her mind’s less than true
Did you think they’d save us?
Honey, don’t make such a fuss
She’s in the wilderness tonight

‘Cause breaking down
Is the last thing I want to do
Can you feel my heart ache?
I’ve got your heartbreak
But she’s still in the wilderness tonight

She wants to win back the sanity
That was keeping her with you
Did you think it was over?
Ours is a three-leaf clover
Luck’s disappeared in the wilderness tonight

The town’s burning down
Under that great expanse of blue
The mania’s not quite done
It was my reason to run
She’s lost in the wilderness tonight
