A rant about the frustrations of feeling like your life is in freefall.

Fall To Pieces

No Lifeboats

In this crazy time, no respite from it
People run their lives, people run scams, people run away getting run down...
And the bullies march, standing on the horn
Gotta be a way, gotta find a way, someone tell me the lowdown...

Looking for an exit, searching for a sign
Only to discover that by sheer design
And there are no lifeboats...

Ain't no easy road from this scary place
Ain't no roadmap, rabbithole, deus ex machina panic room escape route
Only danger signs and stern warnings
Better watch your back, better watch the road, better try to find truth

Chorus

Rising mercury, rising temperatures
Blood begins to boil, oceans start to roil, and nobody ever warned me
If you've got a plan, you might share it now
I don't see a way, I don't see path, I don't see a road lead to safety   

Chorus

No Lifeboats

Lyrics:
Don't Surrender

Don't surrender to fear and hate
Gotta make an effort to relate
Got to try and see the other side
Gotta find a way to swallow your pride

Chorus:
Don't sit down when you should stand
Don't walk by when you should lend a hand
I'm just trying to understand
How to show that love
  
Don't surrender to greed 
Don't take the bread away from those in need
Try to make room for everyone
All living under the same moon and sun

Don't surrender to vanity
Much better try on some humility
Often deceitful are appearances
Not everyone has second chances

Bridge:
So easy to give up, to say you don't care, don't care
But don't wave that white flag just yet my dear
Don't surrender

Don't surrender to disrespect
Treat others as you'd treat yourself instead
Always strive to take the high road
Help somebody with a heavy load
