Caught between the waves in an undertow Struggling to breathe, pulling me out to sea Waiting for the current, to spit me out Hostage to a force far beyond my control Changes chasing me As I retreat Searching for a sign that can ease my mind Paranoia grows as the hours unwind Sanctuary where I can disappear Desperation near Shelter me Where I lie When I dream I can hide To protect And survive Shelter me In plain sight Screaming at the demons of destiny Running from the lies that are smothering me Haunted by a future that's flying blind Scavenging for truth in the embers of time
