Mishap

The wheels are turning over and over in my head

My heart is burning for something I don’t have

I’m reaching my hands into the distance beyond

He said he’ll be back soon, said he won’t be long

It’s been and hours and hours and no sound do I hear

Something’s happened, time is frozen, my pulse is rushing in fear

Is it the devil come to punish me, for the sins that I have honestly

Truthfully, visibly, undeniably committed, oh, I’ve committed

But what could I have possibly done to get Hell’s fire to overrun

The over-spill of heat, because of me, was it me, is it me, come tell me please

I’m running in circles, going out of my mind, insanity

Oh, tell me please, is he ok?

Mishap, oh

It’s all gone wrong, let it go

Don’t hold on, no

Let the harsh winds blow

And then you’ll fall like I am

And then you’ll fall like I am

So grasp the rope

It’s hope

So grasp the rope

It’s hope

Fooled by daylight to think everything is fine

Chills tracing up and down my spine, never know what to expect

She says don’t worry, it’s a phase, and I wish my memory was erased

Because then I wouldn’t recognize this wheeling, stumbling, hurling, swirling

I’m a pebble you toss in the pond, not ever aware just how long

I’ve been drowning in the water

I am joining the others, unsaved shadows down below

It’s a twist, it’s a pull, it’s a clench in a hollow chest

A wringing of the heart as I linger on tiptoes in suspense

I’m tired of the nightmares, the worries, the worst affairs happening to me

Just want to be able to laugh, to finally catch a free breath in the air

Careless, fearless, painless, undress and run in the warm breeze

Feel it embrace me for the first time

But now it’s whipping

Mishap, oh

It’s all gone wrong, let it go

Don’t hold on, no

Let the harsh winds blow

And then you’ll fall like I am

And then you’ll fall like I am

So grasp the rope

It’s hope

So grasp the rope

It’s hope

Oooh

Mishaps, mishappenings

Come hold me in your angel wings

Give me a taste of the sweet nectar of peace

All I ask is a chance, a beautiful release

Don’t let me fall now

Don’t let me fall now

If I fall now, will you help me off the ground?

Oooh

The wheels are turning, hmm

Spinning, people are tense

We’re locked in this pretense

Oh, we can get out

Life’s about falling down

And then getting back up

Don’t give up

Don’t give up

I won’t give up

Holding on the rope of hope

You think you’ve reached the end but don’t let go

Mishaps happen all the time

That’s life

Just want to be able to laugh, to finally catch a free breath in the air

Careless, fearless, painless, undress and run in the warm breeze

Feel it embrace me for the first time
