Destitute clutches of a broken soul
Torn between eternity and mortality
Constrained by the daily bread
But longing for the afterlife

Who can rescue me?
From this limbo of flipflop nuances
Today wanting to escape the boredom of existence
Tomorrow willing to conquer it all
Today intrigued by His concealing
Yesterday frustrated by the same

It's a twisted love affair
I wish I had known better
Maybe I wouldn't have leaped
Into this maze of uncharted desire
With the benefit of blissful ignorance

But since I'm stuck already,
Let's drive off into the sunset
If not for forever, at least for today
I call shotgun as you take the wheels in my life
So we'd chat and laugh, or sit and stare

Everything would be okay
As I kneel down and drive off in prayer
And maybe just for today,
I would escape this tunnel
Between eternity and mortality
