i try to escape
when it feels like i'm
being pulled down
and i don't know how
to get out
of here
being held
under the surface
fighting for a purpose
igniting several verses
as it all goes gray
i fear for today
and the promise of tomorrow
there's bound to be sorrow
i wish i could borrow
the power to eliminate
this dread and despair
and somehow to repair
myself
it's almost too much
to stay where i am
to battle my demons
to debate why the land
that i know
is the road
to no-
where
and if i can somehow
overcome this now
and keep from being pulled down
again
i'd still have to try
to make a break for the shore
and i don't know
what to do anymore
i'm trapped on the floor
watching waves crash above
but i'm guided by
Love
