In the End Zone

I'm in the end zone
Looking down below
Before I draw the last straw
Cause I'm a stone rolling over moss 

I was set to motion by my drive
My desire to go and get it
I didn't sit to think that I'll need to stop
Or to have a leg on the brake 

So I kept rolling in my own mud
Cause I water dead flowers
Hoping that will help them blossom
While all I'm doing is making myself deadbeat 

That's why I'm in the end zone
Drained cause I keep giving
Till my back breaks
And all I can do is go over the zone, to fall
