It feels like I’m walking through quicksand
Scratching my way through the wasteland
Day after day, the horizon’s the same
I think I’m losing count
Of the seconds as they’re passing by
I’m drowning in the hourglass
Choking on the sands of time
Day after day, it feels like nothing has changed
I’m praying for a sign that
It’s not my time to say goodbye
If only for tonight
Maybe I’ve made a mistake
So come take me away from this place because
Lately I feel like I’m pushed to my limit
Each minute, in extremis
In extremis
Another step towards the grave
Another choice I have to make
Day after day, a new horizon to chase
I feel like I’m losing sight
Of the memories of days gone by
With dust in my eyes
I think I’m losing my god damned mind
I may not last the night
Maybe I’ve made a mistake
So come take me away from this place because
Lately I feel like I’m pushed to my limit
Each minute, in extremis
In extremis.
In extremis, maybe there is something I’m missing
A light or a path in the distance
In extremis, I’ve never had a hard time believing
Believe me, if I could I’d be leaving
I need a way out
I’m dragging my feet from all this doubt
I need a way out
Somebody come find me, drag me out
Maybe I’ve made a mistake
So come take me away from this place because
Lately I feel like I’m pushed to my limit
Each minute, in extremis
Lately I’m pushed to my limit, in extremis
Lately I’m pushed to my limit, in extremis
In extremis.
