I'm running out of time this time   This time I can't be late   I've got to find my destiny   Before it turns to fate      I feel so insecure, I feel so all alone   I need something, some possession of my own      I reach for what I want   I see it in my sleep   It's hard to get a hold of it   And it's twice as hard to keep      Someone help me lifeline      I grab the rope in front of me   It keeps slipping through my hands   I try to climb with all of my strength   But it trickles through like sand      This feeling's too secure, it's like a ball and chain   Yeah, I know there's something dragging in my brain      Now another rope appears   I've got it snug and tight   This is one that I can't let go of   No matter how I fight
