I gulped the wine, and it made me shudder
My swinging bliss, poured out like water
Deeper and deeper, I fell in my hole
No way back, I lost all control

I could fade away, into the unknown
Or I can face today, here on my own
I might go astray, wherever I roam
But I'll be the first to play, and the last to go home.

My heart beats, to my own drum
My voice sings, to my own song

I walked that line, and played in time
Now I live today
To not be safe, become a waif
And wanting just to play
To swim upstream against the odds
And never to say die

A death each day, right from the start
No time to lose, just follow your heart
Let me be reborn, and drop me in the river
It's time to wake up, and it's time to deliver
