Time and fate
I've been obsessed my whole life with what they have in store for me
And I can't decide if that escape is the best thing to know or to scary to consider
There's escape routes along the way
But the lights meant to lead the way have blown out and I handed my life preserver to the girl behind me when she forgot how to swim
I know there's flotation devices to keep me afloat but I misplaced them during the dive
I lay on my back to stay above the water line as the waves try to drag me under
I can count every star in my line of sight
The sun disappeared long ago
I'm so thirsty for meaning but all there seems to be is salt water to dry me out
I taste it on my lips and it reminds me of all I can't have
And I swear I see land up ahead but again I'm scared it's just a mirage only meant for the desert
Wrinkled and bloated and legs keeping me treading out of habit
When I close my eyes I can still see the view from my window at 30,000 feet
