Trapped
Tonight, my heart paces
My head pounds
Like I downed a cup of coffee
I know what's right, but it's hard to do
Tomorrow is the day
And I'm only ten min's away
I so wish it were
A moving melting mirage
That I couldn't reach or catch
But I'm here now, I dunno how
Did I pause praying?
Or did I stop studying?
'Twas while working your vineyard
I got trapped in this love yarn
Am I at fault for falling over? After all
I asked you take them butterflies away
Nay, King of kings
You gave 'em extra wings
Now my mouth blinks
My eyes mutter
I stutter
Rehearsing my parting lines
Tomorrow must come, ain't no doubt
I wanna do right. I want out!
