Well you fight like the devil to
  Just keep your head above water
  Chained to whatever you got
  That you can't throw away
  And you're shooting through space
  On that river of life that you're riding
  And it's swirling and sucking you
  Deeper on down everyday.
  
  So you turn to your trusty old partner
  To share some old feelings
  And you find to your shock that
  Your faithful companion is gone
  And the truth slowly dawns that you're
  Lost and alone in deep water
  And you don't even know how much longer
  There is to go on
  
  Like an old Holy Bible you've clung to
  For so many seasons
  With the rules of survival in words
  You could still understand.
  When they proved something wrong
  You believed in so long you go crazy
  And you're so close to foldin' the cards
  That you hold in your hand
  
  Singing, holy Toledo I can't see
  the light anymore
  All those horizons that I used
  to guide me are gone
  And the darkness is driving me farther
  away from the shore
  Throw me a rhyme or a reason to try to go on.
