Forward, I'm falling forward

Curbing my doubt, here I stay in the game

Convincing myself there's still something to gain

Hopeless, hopelessly hopeful

I did my best but fell right down

Back to the same damn place again

Will it ever change, or is this how I'll remain?

Crash and burn, now I'm lying here broken

Still broken

Captured, I'm still encaptured

Lured in the water and caught in a cage

I'm still enticed that very same way

Swinging, you'll send me swinging

A pendulum hanging down from a chain

Can't escape, can't get away

In an escalating, oscillating sway

Well, what is it here I am just failing to learn?

To learn

It won't be long before my will runs dry (And at the end of me)

Can't you see the light? It's still fading from my eyes (Thought you had it all)

It's still the same wounds that are bleeding each time I fall (Come pick me up)

Down here at the bottom still searching for anything

Is there anything or nothing at all?

'Cause I feel at best just a fish in your tank

Or a chess piece in this game that you play

Am I more than a pawn, and if so

What would you have of me, have of me?

What would you have of me, have of me?
