I'm in this place that swallows whole
Where light can't penetrate
I bite and scratch and try to crawl
But I can't find a way
Out.
My fingernails are stained with dirt
And blood trickles red between them
I bite and scratch and fight to crawl
But I can't find a way
Out.
Then daylight peaks from miles away
But looms forever distant
I bite and scratch and struggle up
But I can't make my way
Out.
Then by some brilliant miracle
I creep a little closer
Sunlight warm brushes across my skin
But it dazzles, so I linger
Here.
