Verse 1:
You’re taken for a spin by a whirlwind from within
Twisting and turning as the current pulls you in
Youre drawn closer and closer to a force of disorder
Reaching in to pick apart your defenses and disarm you
Then youll find yourself tossed into an empty desertland
At a loss for words to describe the matter at hand
Youre well aware youve been battered and bruised
Yet youre puzzled by what caused this catastrophe to happen to you
Was it a past circumstance that you failed to surpass
Came to take you aback to face agonizing facts?
Or a putrid premonition meant to give you mental illness
Once it meddles with your system tainting it with twisted visions
Yet your mission regardless of this havocs perpetrator
Is determine your reaction to this peril that your facing
Either remain a victim until youre inexistent
Or persist to be a victor of this present misadventure
Chorus:
Are you gonna sink or swim?
Go against the current, or descend to your defeat?
Pick a fight, or take flight
Search for a salvation, or stand your ground despite
The risk of being demonized by your own demise
Believing in the end you’ll be rewarded with the might
To strike down & stifle oppressors
And survive your mishaps & misadventures
Verse 2:
Now you embark on a quest to locate an oasis
Wash away the stains brought about by your failings
While untangling this convoluting state you’re laced with
To escape, and situate far from this situation
The weight of your burden’s lessened
Yet its burning essence is set to make a return, and surface
At a moment when you least expect its presence
It creeps back in to spark a nerve-wrecking menace
You’re once again tossed in this place you’ve forsaken
Where demerits lay waste, til you’re left desolated
Uncertain as to whether you will ace this test of patience
Or fail to keep your inner peace from being desecrated
Seems as if this ailment is destined to take place
From time-to-time, up to a point you’re near your remaining days
Would you cast out apprehensions, to outlast this bout?
Or let distress drain you out, and see yourself heading south?
Repeat chorus
