Dead End Looming

How do I create something new
Bold and full of life?
Is there a dead end looming?
I fear what's beyond my sight
Could you help me fend it off
Instead of holding tight to air?
Fill my hands with something
Worth a damn
There's nothing good here

I know all too well
That I can play it straight
If I keep my thoughts at bay
But if you want the truth
I've never felt at ease
Picturing myself in front of you

Will I ever learn to accept it
The wonder of the future?
I sway towards giving up
When I feel it
The weight of starting over
Is a dead end looming

If color's fading out
And slipping through my hands
Can I save it, tell me now
Before it's too late
If the sun goes down
And I'm still drifting here
I know I'll lose my mind
I refuse to stay any longer docked at bay
And cut me loose, send me out to sea

Will I ever learn to accept it
The wonder of the future?
I sway towards giving up
When I feel it
The weight of starting over
Is a dead end looming

What if it's all made of smoke
A shallow line in sand?
Easily dismissed
If only we would take the chance
What if it's not too far gone
Close but out of sight?
And all that we can do
Is put up one hell of a fight

If I ever learn to accept it
The wonder of the future
I'll sway from giving up
When I feel it
The weight of starting over
I'll face the wind outside, no
There's no dead end in sight
Bring it on
There's no dead end in sight
