Le tourbillon

I'm holding on hostage
On a raft that's not sinking
I should reach out to Venus
From a point I would rather not know

Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
Like the sun through the blinds

I'm transversing the northern star
Driving stakes through the ground
Counting steps between
Life passes quickly

I'm measuring the fanthomless
Diving towards all the water around me
I dive but I'd rather not go
