Dragging myself through mounds of
proverbial sand,
I'm dying of thirst out here
Just give me rest.

Sun beats down in a relentless fashion,
I can't help but feel lost and
depressed by this.
I'm loosing myself out here,
Just give me rest.

I've passed through this oasis,
one too many times. It's a progress
deemed usless by thirst
and fear, fear that I won't
ever find my way, please
Just give me rest.

Yesterday was so different, why
did It turn out like this now? I was
on top of my game, I was on
top of the world, and now
I'm busy trying not to die of thirst.
If you don't care to help me, put me out
Just give me rest.

I don't think you notice, notice all
the sand. Crawling on hands and knees
only makes me that much hotter
and I can't help but hate this burning
my hands are raw from the crawling
and I have no energy to walk.
What I would give for a drop of water,
Just give me rest.

In the beginning I had what I wanted,
had what I needed. It's not that simple
anymore. Instead of lush pastures, I have
plentiful sand pits.
Be a friend for once, and do something for me
It isn't much, I promise you.
All I'm asking is a bit of respite, help pick me up
Be my hero, my saving grace,
Just give me rest.

This reminds me of times in life where I am going through a period of transition. One of those times when you think you have everything figured out and then, well, you realize everything is changing and all that you believe you have learned seems useless. These are probably the toughest times in life for me. Luckily though, when appearing on the other side of it, I'm stronger and am glad that I experienced what I have during that time. Life is a funny thing.

That it is. And transition is a good way to put it for my life right now.

The first thing this does is make me thirsty...

It's good...and I'd say transition would be a good theme for this, along with the struggles of life and all that .
