Cannot shuffle off this self-destruction Eating my long-sufferance away Crawling in the ashes of submission Knee-deep in substantial decay Life's like ice that holds, but still won't carry Destined, swallowing the bitter pill Sadly it's always the same old story No use sowing what you cannot till I've tried so hard to get by on my own to find a way But every time I end up clutching at straws What can I say? I guess I just have to submit to my fate as things go There is no point in indulging in hope when you're Down at zero Off the beaten track the entries narrow Making it much harder not to fail May be that, but life only lies fallow Weighing anchor, ready to set sail
