I live in the city but I didn't choose it
I wonder if ever, if I had a choice at all
I'm stuck in a prison, I call it my body
If there's no escape then what am I fighting for?
And I keep falling away (I've gotta start holding on)
To the grave that's left open for me, (I keep falling away)
To its' frozen embrace (I've gotta start moving on)
Patiently waiting for me
The fight against time, well it bent and it broke me
But the bruises fade, then I'm straight back to war
This mess that I've made to cradle my body
It's feeling like home, more than before
I'm so sick of being pushed around
A leaf on the wind, adrift on the tide
Always going somewhere and going nowhere all at once
And I keep falling away (I've gotta start holding on)
To the grave that's left open for me (I keep falling away)
To its' frozen embrace (I've gotta start moving on)
Patiently waiting for me
