Restive

I posted in the back of the world, just waiting
 For my chance to live the dream again
 I feared that all the footprints we left were fading
 With the rest of the globe's
 I'd dwell on all the darkness that lay out before me...
 An abyss that we had never known.
 We'd landed on Mars but we'd learn how to breathe again
 Without the oxygen we used to hold
 I got used to how the river flowed
 I got stuck in my ways
 I got used to how the river flowed
 But now the current knows its place
 I wallowed in the pain of my own situation
 Knowing full well it could be worse than this
 Allowing for the waves of inspired creation
 To balance the fear of the well runnin' dry
 My suffering is one little drop in the bucket
 When I look around and see the world
 I only have one shot so I'm gonna love it
 No matter how it unfurls
 I got used to how the river flowed
 I got stuck in my ways
 I got used to how the river flowed
 But now the current knows its place
 If you wanna fight the tide
 Just keep your head down and go...
 Cause your fight is different than mine
 I could never begin to know
