Like a Leaf

Like a leaf
adrift on the sea
While the wind whispers
through the trees
I can't get back
to where I should be

Like a lemming
lost in its' cause
Running rampant
through its' flaws
I can't get back
to where I was

I'm strung
I'm strained
Emotionally drained
I'm stung
I'm stained
Forever changed

Like a sand speck
blowin in the dessert
While time passes
without measure
Wishing I wasn't
waste under pressure

Like a thought
without intention
While doubts dance
through perceptions
Wishing to find
some consolation

I'm stuck
I'm stagnant
Tangled in a dragnet
I'm struck
I'm strangled
Mangled to a fragment
