Grab my hand
I want to show you
What I'm seeing
Take a look
At my cock-eyed view
Well spring of fear that's
Bubbling over
Clogging my senses
Seasick motion
Rocking
Waves are coming closer
Soon they'll crash on deck and
We'll be lost
Upside
Backside
Oh woo -weee - isn't this fun
You can hear them crashing around
Feel 'em on your tongue
Stinging ye'r eyes
Getting closer
Someone get me off
This nightmare ship
What? Too much for you?
Want another point of view?
How about this
Plunge
Underwater
Caught in a bubble
Looking at all the
People continuing on
Happy people
Laughter
Not mine
Where's the music
My ears are clogged
Mouths are moving
Wordless speak

Get me out of this surreal setting
Macabre dance party
Ashen faces
Pretending everything's fine
Maybe that's the secret to getting through
Key to get into
Normal life
Be a contender
Be a pretender
Fake it till you make it
Go on as if nothing happened
Don't look ahead or you'll be caught in that
Free wheel spin
Lost in the past
What could be
Should be
Never will be
Let go of my hand now
I can make it on my own
