Wheel Wheel - Where The Pieces Lie

Like a shotgun released into the darkness
No destination in mind
What is a single drop of water to an ocean
Under a mocking sky?

There is nobody around with whom to share this burden
Or was I the one who left them all behind?
As the Sun begins to dip below the horizon
Resolve vanishes, in the failing light

Fighting to survive
We’ll make a last push for the border
Too late to start again
We’ll run from where the pieces lie

Assurance has become but a memory
Connection, the only thing I crave
Is there any comfort out there in the distance
Or, am I racing to the grave?

Trying to deny the desperation
Like turbulence, is tearing me apart
This purpose, too far beyond my station
Has tormented me enough, like a viper around my neck

Fighting to survive
We’ll make a last push for the border
Too late to start again
We’ll run from where the pieces lie
There’s nothing to be done
Too late to start again

Staggered by the weight pushing down on me
It’s getting hard to breathe
Still implacable but standing still
All I need is one last push home

Fighting to survive
We’ll make a last push for the border
Too late to start again
We’ll run from where the pieces lie
