Where the Pieces Lie

[Verse 1]
Like a shotgun released into the darkness
No destination in mind
What is a single drop of water to an ocean
Under a mocking sky?

There is nobody around with whom to share this burden
Or was I the one who left them all behind?
As the sun begins to dip below the horizon
Resolve vanishes, in the failing light

[Chorus]
Fighting to survive
We’ll make a last push for the border
Too late to start again
We’ll run from where the pieces lie

[Verse 2]
Assurance has become but a memory
Connection, the only thing I crave
Is there any comfort out there in the distance
Or, am I racing to the grave?

Trying to deny the desperation
Like turbulence, is tearing me apart
This purpose, too far beyond my station
Has tormented me enough, like a viper around my neck

[Chorus]
Fighting to survive
We’ll make a last push for the border
Too late to start again
We’ll run from where the pieces lie
There’s nothing to be done
Too late to start again

[Bridge]
Staggered by the weight pushing down on me
It’s getting hard to breathe
Still implacable but standing still
All I need is one last push home

[Chorus]
Fighting to survive
We’ll make a last push for the border
Too late to start again
We’ll run from where the pieces lie
