Irv Wauneka - Far from the Shore Lyrics

I might be too far gone than I wanted
But I can still see the flame
Far from the shore
Do work with the time that I'm allotted
Take a deep breath and dive in for more
Too far than I wanted
But I can still see the flame
Far from the shore
Do work with the time that I'm allotted
Take a deep breath and
Dive in for more
Take a deep breath and
Dive in for more

I'm looking around things are getting kinda strange
I see my old classmates begging for my change
It's like a pandemic across the nation
Seems panhandling has hit a younger generation
Obliteration of the mind, no escape, no rewind
No replacement to find just a eulogy
With a blank look and a blank book
Got reeled in fast cause you got hooked
What a shame, shaking, intaking, intoxicating
Oxycontin comatose, and evading an overdose
Was just the usual on a Tuesday
Girls out there smoking shit just to lose weight
This is not the way I pictured life would work out
Announced my own vows in a puddle of doubt
Hacked my brains mainframe just to clear my mind
But it's hard when your thoughts keep getting outta line
My vices re-route and overtake my intuition
My bills are laid out on a bed of bad decisions
Looking for short cuts all alone man
Looks like me and death are fighting for a wish bone
Small town with big mouths
Looking in a glass house
Fist full of rocks and a mind in a nutshell
Mind as well play the role upon the stage
I break the fourth wall but I've got nothing to say
I hope the whole town is watching
While I wake up the monster
And I take up the chance
To take a name off the roaster
Of the impostors, charlatan, fiends
The ones who look like you and me
The ones who look like you and me

I might be too far gone than I wanted
But I can still see the flame
Far from the shore
Do work with the time that I'm allotted
Take a deep breath and dive in for more
Too far than I wanted
But I can still see the flame
Far from the shore
Do work with the time that I'm allotted
Take a deep breath and dive in for more
Too far than I wanted
But I can still see the flame
Far from the shore
Do work with the time that I'm allotted
Take a deep breath and
Dive in for more
Take a deep breath and
Dive in for more

I bet the whole time I spent wondering
"Is this the last shot?"
I ran out of time like Barry Allen in a wrist watch
Fists cocked back ready to unload
No intermission non-stop
And there ain't no other road
A few months go by things are getting a little brighter
Then I draw the short straw situations getting tighter
Looking for motivation in a bottle
Can't put it down holding on till tomorrow
Lean out the window, feel the breeze
Play that crescendo twice for me
I try to contain the pain anyway to gain is what I'm looking for
Now its got me going knocking door to door
Now its got me going knocking door to door
Some looking up, Some looking down
Some beaten up, Some looking around
With no promises guaranteed, Or plans to proceed
Maybe the furthest behind is in the lead

I might be too far gone than I wanted
But I can still see the flame
Far from the shore
Do work with the time that I'm allotted
Take a deep breath and dive in for more
