Dripping With Myself
The water feels deeper
As my mind becomes weaker

I thought I had learned
To watch what I shall yearn

But here I am again
Sitting on the chair
As you tie me, old friend
Then you offer the dare

I can do nothing but accept
Heart beating through my chest

The energy is so high
Cause I know I'll never arrive
To the place I wish to find

Words do not exist as I plead
Drowning in the chains you gave me
There is no way to stop this deed
Nothing can save me
Why does my own self hate thee?

I've sunk to the bottom
I understand I'll never dry
For this water that surrounds me
Has hold of me tight

I wish I could change
But somedays it's not like I care
Proofreading each conversation
I could never speak the truth if I dare

Life is so short
As well as my grit
Pulling me over
This ever falling pit

It is hot down here
In the underwater volcanoes
Surrounded by the fluid
To hone out your ego

Where is the light?
I do not know
But this is the place
I'm gonna have to call home

I tell myself to swim
But it's easier to fall
Cause when you've done nothing your whole life...
You'll continue doing nothing at all
