Getting through each day is hard Problems poke at every turn My will keeps getting smaller No spare energy to burn I'm not sure which direction to take Trying to figure it out I decide on one Take one step forward Then am halted in my tracks by doubt To go somewhere far away from here Is my most pressing desire Get a few miles nearer to escape Then retreat as soon as I tire Out of my mind with hopeless greif Making it difficult to navigate Dragging my feet along this winding road Distance closing between me and fate
