I always seem to be approaching
but I never seem to arrive

I don't know what worse fate
is in store for me

but all I do seems to be for nothing
(or at best for anyone but myself)

and maybe that's for the best
I certainly can't find any way

to make better all I've wrecked
with my good intentions

and everywhere else I go looks much like
every place I've left behind

oh Lord of torment and boredom
I offer you this half-assed prayer

of desperate atonement for who but You
knows how or what or why

and maybe that's for the best
since everywhere I go is almost here

always approaching
but never arriving
