This is a hard life
No one to keep me alive
My boat is overturned
Tossed and thrown aside

And it's so hard to explain
What keeps me from crying at night
Overlooking the sky
Reaching and praying for light

Hoping and believing
Open and deceiving
Closer to conceiving
No room left for screaming

It's as far as impossible
I'm as close as I'll ever come
One step closer and I'll be done
The empty process has just begun

What a strange display
Of yesterday's descent
Gleaming stars evade
The colors blending in

Blending and corroding
Honing and exploding
Changes undergoing
Without further knowing

It's as far as impossible
I'm as far as I've ever gone
One step closer and far along
The empty process dragging on

The higher I'm reaching out
The further I fall behind
But I'm not giving in
As long as I'm still breathing
