Lifeline


How can I find my way out of this pit?
I need to escape this hole full of shit
I look for a way, but I can’t seem to see
this isolation is killing me

I need a lifeline
not weights on my feet
I need a lifeline
not a burial sheet
I need a lifeline
someone throw me a rope
I need a lifeline
before I lose all hope

Casting about for a way to be free
but loneliness erodes sanity
so these thoughts that seem so crazy to you
might be the only things that pull me through

I need a lifeline
to keep me afloat
I need a lifeline
not a noose at my throat
I need a lifeline
to get to the shore
I need a lifeline
please don’t close the door

The Lord is my shepherd- but I’m not a sheep
maybe that’s why I’m in the shit so deep
But I don’t believe that’s the way things stand
I believe that our souls our in our own command

‘Cause the more that I learn, the more crazy I seem
Am I the dreamer? Or am I the dream?
I dreamt I was God- He dreamt he was Man
Now I’m awake, I don’t know which one I am

I need a lifeline
to keep me alive
I need a lifeline
to help me survive
I need a lifeline
Does nobody care?
I need a lifeline
Or is it already there?
