Treading Water

Can't keep up No matter how inclined I falter, fall behind My fate is well defined Can't get up A problem I can't solve A purposeless resolve Beginning to dissolve How long can I last Going nowhere fast Too much to outlast Got no means to suggest It's just a useless quest With feelings unexpressed Going down I try but don't know how A fruitless effort now Won't make it anyhow Sinking fast I'm giving it my all I thrash around and call My efforts lag and stall How long can I last Going nowhere fast Too much to outlast Got no means to suggest It's just a useless quest With feelings unexpressed All to no avail I cannot prevail My final coffin nail Just use the minor scale
