Shelter in Place

Caught between the waves in an undertow
 Struggling to breathe, pulling me out to sea
 Waiting for the current, to spit me out
 Hostage to a force far beyond my control
 Changes chasing me
 As I retreat
 Searching for a sign that can ease my mind
 Paranoia grows as the hours unwind
 Sanctuary where I can disappear
 Desperation near
 Shelter me
 Where I lie
 When I dream
 I can hide
 To protect
 And survive
 Shelter me
 In plain sight
 Screaming at the demons of destiny
 Running from the lies that are smothering me
 Haunted by a future that's flying blind
 Scavenging for truth in the embers of time
