Seems like I'm running on empty
Finish lines are always ten yards ahead of me
I'd be grateful if anyone could pick me up from my knees
It's more than praying needed to help me
The bait's too sweet, then you're trapped
Lost in a city, where roads are not mapped
What is it forsaken I can't see
Hollow inside, feeling emptiness where I know something should be
Give it my best shot to hit the target
But I'm missing a mark and I have to return to the start
All purpose and point is gone
Vanished, nothing helps me belong

It's like sink or swim, 
A rock and a hard place, 
Do or die, yin or yang, 
Vice or versa, no choice for me

Try to arrive for what's out of reach
Climbing way up to fall from the peak
Looking down to one and all
Hoping there's someone to catch me from the fall
Can I rise from where I was, 
Or is it all doomed for lost?

It's like sink or swim, 
A rock and a hard place, 
Do or die, yin or yang, 
Vice or versa, no choice for me
