the laws of uncertainty govern me
in my need
in desperation
driving without destination
I am driven
down
beaten by the inexplicable
into corners of doubt
they won't see me cry
in frustration
they won't see me
in their service
lie and lose patience
I need new places
and someone to catch me
because oh I'm falling
or is that failing
hard to distinguish
in hard times
my eyes mist over
in helpless rage
I find myself caged in
nowhere to begin
I would trade the wind
on a thousand summer nights
for a maybe
and a break
when it comes down to this
how much I can give
and maybe I'm running
out of options
