In the Waterhole
I want to jump
I want to soar
I came to dump
What I can't ignore
I want to fly
But he's right there
One look I die
God, it's so unfair
'Cause everyone else seems
To have found their forever first
I'm the only one who dreams
While I'm dying of thirst
In the waterhole.
Others have been hurt
Me, I feel no pain
Others grounded into dirt
While I just watch the drain
My focuss lagging
I think I see forever
But I'm still packing
To brave other weather
'Cause everyone else seems
To have found their forever first
I'm the only one who dreams
While I'm dying of thirst
In the waterhole.
He's right there
I want him
I don't care
He's so dim
I feel him and he's gone
I want the one who's drawn
In the scratchable sand
Not the one who's the hand
He wants me
I pay no heed
He blessed me
I can't bleed
For his carress I thirst
But from him I never
He's my forever first
Wants to be the first forever
But everyone else seems
To have found their forever first
I'm the only one who dreams
While I'm dying of thirst
In the waterhole.
