Not Today

I'm leaving my sad little island, on a longboat that winds through my veins
I'm floating high in the mountains, through rivers and fountains
As the stars chase the moon 'round my brain

On just about any other day, I could be saved
But not today

I'm not too aware of the distance that's left in my existence today
Seems that I've left life behind me, I let the needle come and find me
Now I'm swirling 'round and 'round the drain

On just about any other day, I could be saved…

It may appear that I'm just givin' up
Taking a fool's road straight to my grave
But I can turn back before I spill my cup
I just need one more day
It's always one more day

So as my head keeps on swimmin', I don't know if I'm winning or lost
I might be scared if you told me, that you'd never hold me
Too afraid of the cost

On just about any other day, I could be saved
But not today
