Down, down, Deeper down, Into the murky depths, I drown
Inky black slide Slippery, steep. Time to pray My soul to keep
Nothing here to see, All is black around me And yet I do not try to feel Around me, This wondrous place with no boundaries
Losing my grip, Starting to slip, Slip, slip....
Tears lazily fall, Sometimes not at all, I cannot call
Sound is silenced here, Stops the tear, Sliding ever downwards, I fear....
Out there is life, The trouble and the strife, Can't go, can't stay, I'm on the edge of this knife
Sliding down into the sumptuous black, Losing my track, Don't want to go back
Things are easier here in the dark, No rules, no 'dogs' to 'bark' No 'payment to park', Just dark -
Like sleep. I fall in a heap In my boat on this inky surface I creep, No longer a sheep
And you, You I cannot dare to dream about, The screams, the shouts, I want out!
But no, This place I long to go Will only keep me for so long, Before I am made to appear strong
Get up! This is no option, can't escape! A hole in our small world will gape...
And so, With duty bound, I return, My shell renewed, My soul, burned. Nothing learned, But yet you accept this facade I churn!
Begone! Leave me to the past when life was dull, But nobody turned to me for their fill, No neediness to be fulfilled You don't seem to understand, I am not capable.
It just leaves me feeling ill.
