I'm running out of time this timenThis time I can't be latenI've got to find my destinynBefore it turns to fatennI feel so insecure, I feel so all alonenI need something, some possession of my ownnnI reach for what I wantnI see it in my sleepnIt's hard to get a hold of itnAnd it's twice as hard to keepnnSomeone help me lifelinennI grab the rope in front of menIt keeps slipping through my handsnI try to climb with all of my strengthnBut it trickles through like sandnnThis feeling's too secure, it's like a ball and chainnYeah, I know there's something dragging in my brainnnNow another rope appearsnI've got it snug and tightnThis is one that I can't let go ofnNo matter how I fight
