Grounded

Swirling around me
Unbounded
The walls revolving
See me sad as they're encircling
I am little in comparison
And never want the ones i know to see me small
So on my own i try to win
But i soon wind down
And always end up
Back on the ground again
Mad at the hand of circumstance
When what i had in mind exactly doesn't happen
Its good to be above the clouds
But somehow down here i feel grounded
No inflated thoughts to break
The drop already landed
Hoping to be happy right here
Might even get me laughing

Alone at last
And what was left it seems
Is right behind me
Of what i had just been gliding on
But bygones are bygones
And i'm gone so good-by
I won't be needing you
Because there is no reason
To be living off of previous achievements
And off goes the oars
I will be drifting, which is
Often the case
After leaving a ship
That i last saw sinking
Overboard, overboard
Overboard, overboard
Overboard, overboard
Overboard, overboard
Just beyond the reach of people seeking

I need to find a friend
Before i fall below my body
Into sediment
And get all sentimental
Or depressed
Into indention that's too deep
For me to creep or crawl on out of
In doubt of myself

But i know there's a way
'cause below is behind us
Believe there's a day
'cause the sun still rises
Someone around
That's bound to find us
Stranded
Awaiting
Alone
