Drained

High tide is drawing me in Dear Lord I am wrapping My wrist around your heels I am shivering from the late noon day sun Hanging on for dear life My body is quiveringly recovering Recovering from an ocean of mistrust and it isn’t easy I am drained from all of the wrong decisions I need stability Lethargy is setting in and the eyelids getting heavy I’m struggling to a state of no return All the weaknesses that I must unlearn I am going from something To going broke Return me to my full status Just remind me again when all goes well About whose stake it is Remind me again for whose sake it is Why do you leave me to my own device You thought me obedience is better then sacrifice Rolling the dice I need to win just one more time I need to win Can't afford to lose Too much drenched in my blues Tired of a cycle that goes on and on I won't stop believing I will hold on to that feeling.
