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
