When I first drifted out to sea
I allowed the tide to take me
There I bobbed, weightlessly
And I felt at peace

Soon my skin began to break
And all these tiny things
Bacteria, leech, and snake
They wormed their way into my veins
And poisoned me

But there's a little life left in me yet
A little life left in my yet

Under a moon like a blind eye searching
The giants took me
I was a baby nursing at the jug of longing and the breast of mercy
Flushed and flying

I tumbled over the rocks
They were jagged and ancient
A harrowing chorus sang, "Boy, just be patient"
So I waited, although I thought I was dying

But there's a little life left in me yet
A little life left in my yet

Suddenly, at Sun's command
Rose red light illuminated sand
Could this be?

I landed not on the beach, but the caverns beyond
A martyr for nothing in a cathedral of stone
Blinded by the swirling dark, I know I'm alone
Of this, I am worthy

In the deepest cave I discovered a candle
It's light was weak, but hell, it's heat was substantial
As I wondered at this brand new potential
I held my breath

But there's a little life left in me yet
A little life left in my yet

In the infinite dark I heard the voice of my mother
Held the candle close as I searched for another
Please, oh god, take anyone but her

A bitter gust and the flame was gone
I knew the truth that I ignored all along
There was no candle
There was no dawn

But there's a little life left in me yet
A little life left in my yet
