all hands lost:

this is where i bare my soul
and you try not to laugh
at the absurdity of my thoughts
this is where you see me for
the woman i have become
and not the girl i once was
this is where…
this is where…
this is where the tide is turned

this is where all of the illusions
of grandeur settle into focus
and you see clearly the path ahead
this is where i lead you
by the hand so carefully
and you must come to accept
this is where…
this is where…
this is where the glory fades

this is where i avert my eyes
callous heart shameful
and leave you grasping
this is where…
this is where…
this is where the ship crashes on the rocks
