(Mock)Turtle - Meinhard

On and on

And even further

Around

I’m chasing down a dream

Seems a thousand years have passed

Looking for a thing to last

Reeling writhing

Time is fleeting

Striking hours with my bones

All alone

I’m crawling on

All my confidence has gone

There I collapse

All my dreams about to die

Tumbling down

I don’t know

Who am I?

There I collapse

Tell me what’s going on

Down to the ground

Everything has gone wrong

Flipped on my back

I withdraw in my shell

Won’t someone please

Give me a hand

Flipped on my back

I withdraw in my shell

This kind of inertia

Sure feels like hell

In ambition and destruction

All my mind

I fade away

Swaying in derision

Praying

how on earth I’d drift astray?

Black and cold

My pity soul

I hide inside myself and cry

Crawling

Seeking some salvation

All the world feels like a lie

There I collapse

And my soul has dropped dead

I’m breaking down

There is nothing ahead

There I collapse

Just a shell as I fall

Down to myself

I feel nothing at all

Flipped on my back

I withdraw in my shell

Won’t someone please

Give me a hand

Flipped on my back

I withdraw in my shell

This kind of inertia

Sure feels like hell
