Let's go back to the start

Can't turn around
Can't hold on
Time keeps dragging me on
But I still am where I was

This is not the path for me
A path to nowhere
Would have taken a different turn
If only I had known ahead

Stuck in sinking sand
Grasping for a helping rope
Passers-by hurried by their burdens
No time to lend me hope

Let's go back to the start
Let me begin again
This time I'll not explore
And just follow the herd until decay.
