I'm as withered and dry as a serpent's scale.
And try as I might, I still always fail.
There's nothing for me in this world but sorrow...

I can pick myself up, and dust myself off.
But when the new sun rises, I will still feel lost.
I do all I can, no matter the cost.
And always hope for a better tomorrow...

I'm here, every day. I'm fixed where I stand.
Drowning, and being pulled under quicksand.
trying to grab onto each helping hand.
But the assistance can only be borrowed...

I'm turned into dust. I'm carried away.
I leave with the wind. I'm too frail to stay.
I fall apart almost every day.
So I drift away into the sorrow.

You can taste every piece of me, and know that I'm stale.
I'm as withered and dry as a serpent's scale.
And try as I might, I still always fail.
There's nothing for me in this world but sorrow...

I can pick myself up, and dust myself off.
But when the new sun rises, I will still feel lost.
I do all I can, no matter the cost.
And always hope for a better tomorrow...

I'm here, every day. I'm fixed where I stand.
Drowning, and being pulled under quicksand.
trying to grab onto each helping hand.
But the assistance can only be borrowed...

I'm turned into dust. I'm carried away.
I leave with the wind. I'm too frail to stay.
I fall apart almost every day.
So I drift away into the sorrow.
