Shattered

I’m standing on the bridge, my ship is going strong,
No land for forty years, it doesn’t seem that long.
I saw the birth of Venus with my loaded brush,
I held Eve’s hand for moments, there was no one but us,

Just like a bottle that can’t be filled,
They say I’m like time that can’t be killed,
My judge, my jury say I’m -

Shattered.
I’m falling to pieces.
Shattered.
I’m falling to pieces.
Falling to pieces.
I’d say I’m fine.

I looked into the future – didn’t need a crystal ball,
I thought I’d find you there but never saw you at all.
Just filling in spaces to get my point across,
I’m going to reach you someday, but I think you’ll find I’m lost.

I’m falling to pieces,
Take me out of here
 

It's based on my experiences in re-hab clinics when I was a kid. I can remember being examined one day by 5 psychiatrists simultaneously in a dark room, and being asked things like "do you hear voices" etc., but I was so gone that morning that I was at the right department, but the wrong clinic. It was and remains a vivid experience/memory, and at that point in my life I was literally falling to pieces.
