I'm running out of time this time
  This time I can't be late
  I've got to find my destiny
  Before it turns to fate
    I feel so insecure, I feel so all alone
  I need something, some possession of my own
    I reach for what I want
  I see it in my sleep
  It's hard to get a hold of it
  And it's twice as hard to keep
    Someone help me lifeline
    I grab the rope in front of me
  It keeps slipping through my hands
  I try to climb with all of my strength
  But it trickles through like sand
    This feeling's too secure, it's like a ball and chain
  Yeah, I know there's something dragging in my brain
    Now another rope appears
  I've got it snug and tight
  This is one that I can't let go of
  No matter how I fight
