Driftwood

This last year is a blur

It seems to have just passed me by

Faster than a heartbeat

Blinking feels like missing out

I'll pin my eyelids open

Until my eyes go bloodshot

Trying to hold on so I can see everything

I know that I am powerless to stop

These deep-set fears

I know that I am grappling for control

But I'm losing grip on the rope

I'm drifting

I'm drowning

Stumbling through the corridors of time

I'm drifting

I'm burning out

Out of control

Out of control

Out of control

I feel like driftwood

Carried by the current

Beholden to the waves

I feel like driftwood

Torn down by the storm

Ripped apart and cast away

A face stares back at me from within the mirror

It's warped and twisted and I don't recognise it anymore

I'm looking at a face that I don't recognise

I'm drifting

I'm drowning

I'm kicking

I'm clawing

I'm reaching out desperately

For anything to grasp

I'm looking at the face in the mirror

Sharing 30 years of someone else's life

I'm looking at the face in the mirror

I'm not sure I recognise it now

I feel like driftwood

Carried by the current

Beholden to the waves

I feel like driftwood

Torn down by the storm

Ripped apart and cast away

This last year is a blur

This last year is a blur
