Six Feet Under Ground

I lost myself somewhere sometime

I crawl so far inside

I don't exist out there anymore

So in the dark I hide

I'm just a tiny piece of dust

Kicked about by the wind

Sucked into an empty vortex

This black hole never to transcend

To the dark I escape

Or Is the night my prison

I search for what is me

Yet I have lost my night vision

Take a step, hit a wall

Turn around and repeat

My face a bloody mess

As I face frustration and defeat

Inside it's dark

Inside it's small

Then I know without a doubt

the sad truth of it all

This place I hide

Praying my soul doth save

Is not my salvation

But my coffin, my grave.

It's not time to die

But this time must live

But I'm tired, so tired

Sweet relief, something please give.

Someone dig me up

Someone let me out

But if I see the sunshine

In fear will I shout?

Release me! Leave me be!

A captive to my fear

Where will I feel like me

Out there or tucked in here?

Will I ever know the answer

Will I ever pass the test

Will I always be bumping into walls

Will I ever feel at rest?

No happy ending

No ever after found

Just fighting to stay above

Six feet under ground.
