Who Am I and Where Am I Going?

I'm crossing lines, switching lanes, speeding and trying to go faster.
Constantly running a race yet I still lose, I got the blues.

I'm compressed in a bubble that I seem to can't get out of
and the only things that leaks are tears.

I look out my window and all I see is a road that leads to no where.
Then I sit and wonder what's out there?

At times I throw on Jay-Z rhyms yet it gets to the point where
I stop american dreamin' and start asking can I live.

The smile I put on really is not a smile.
It's simply something I draw as I let time pass a while.
I wonder when a permanent one will be painted.

I guess the Lord is teaching me something like patience
and in my mind I say I've waited.

Him, you, family, life, work, love, me, letting go and growing
are all thoughts my brain has contemplated.

Try to close your eyes and picture the universe as it goes on
and on with no end.

Then imagine how small you are in this universe and how scary
that is, along with not having by your side your best friend.

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, crying out yet
no sound is pitched or heard.

So sick of fluctuating and my life that I'd do anything to
escape this routine.

And I'm wrapped up in you because you take me away to a place
I once saw in a movie, leaving me sure of who I am and where I want to be.

I'm crossing lines, switching lanes, speeding and wanting to go faster
and you're the only one who calms me.
