I am in a dark place,
Where all of that rumbling starts to sound the same
Have you ever felt something tight plucking at your wrists?
I’m asking if you know what it’s like
To lose your sense of direction and motion
Have you ever lost track of time?
Sure, I’m a coward
Sometimes I thought I was building walls
But I was just digging a ditch to bury myself in
We never open our eyes, we only cover our ears
I never look at the sky,
Oh but now I understand
Somewhere deep underground there came an epiphany
Then again
I can’t take away the experiences that brought you here
Just lay here and drown, nobody is coming to save you
