Lifeline - Hüsker Dü

I’m running out of time this time

This time I can’t be late

I’ve got to find my destiny

Before it turns to fate

I feel so insecure, I feel so all alone

I need something, some posession of my own

I reach for what I want

I see it in my sleep

It’s hard to get ahold of it

And it’s twice as hard to keep

Someone help me lifeline

I grab the rope in front of me

It keeps slipping from my hands

I try to climb with all of my strength

But it trickles through like sand

This feeling’s too secure, it’s like a ball and chain

Yeah, I know there’s something dragging in my brain

Now another rope appears

I’ve got it snug and tight

This is one that I can’t let go of

No matter how I fight
