Lyrics
Drifter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Spent my whole life drifting,
trusting my life on the hands of fate.
The winds take me to a harbor every now and then.
But how long can I go on like this?
Without setting my anchors, drifting away.
I'm swimming in darkness,
looking for a single ray of light.
The weights in my ankles are pulling me down,
Is it time to say goodbye?
Won't I still get one last chance?
Or is it time for the last goodbye?
Wasting away, drifting away.
Can I go on without setting my anchors?
Inside my heart I blocked all the answers.
I need them now. Where's the last lifeline?
I thought I had it, but now the story has an open end.
All ties that bind me with this world,
I lost them along the way.
Hatred and despair no longer sustain.
No anchors, no rudder, wasting away.
Wasting away, drifting away.
Can I go on without setting my anchors?
Inside my heart I blocked all the answers.
I need them now.
Where's the last lifeline?
