I've dug myself into this valley,
Surrounded by walls of dirt,
The light of the sun is all but lost,
I am trapped in emptiness and darkness.

I cannot escape,
I can only dig deeper,
So I do, I dig deeper into the darkness
And I don't know why.

To sink, is to fall -
slowly and agonizingly,
longing for death -
an escape from the pain.

HELP!
Why can't I just die?

The deeper I sink,
the fewer people can save me,
and the fewer people try.
I am left to sink into the darkness and the cold.

Every breathless moment feels like an eternity.
I struggle to force the freezing water out of my lungs.

Here, I am doomed to remain -
forever sinking deeper,
constantly dying, never dead.
Unless...

Someone can dive down into the depths,
and pull me out of my prison,
my grave.

Please...
Save me...

love is easy to fake,
easy to confuse with adrenaline
you had no heart to break,
and i was just a slave to serotonin.
fluorescent street lights
made your eyes shine so bright.
for once in my life
i wasn't terrified of the night.

To love is to burn,
for to feel heat,
one must set their soul ablaze.

To breathe is to drown,
for with every breath of air,
comes a suffocating waterfall.

To think is to be crushed,
for our thoughts trap us,
under their weight.

It is so with all things.
The things that I need to do
destroy me.

I'm trapped.

My eyes -- they were too dry to cry anymore,
So I forced tears of red from my wrists.

My heart -- It was too numb to feel anymore,  
So I took a blade to my flesh, seeking the strongest feeling I knew: pain, a reminder that I was alive and human.

My legs -- They were too weak to carry me anymore,
So I collapsed, falling back into my old, self-destructive habits.

My mind -- It was too clouded to think anymore,
So I chased away the sickly fog with a hurricane of pain, and fought through the storm, until I found what I sought: the eye, my relief.

You're falling apart
but you still take the time
to make sure
I'm ok.

You're bleeding to death
but you still take the time
to bandage
my cuts.
  
You're dangling off the edge
but you still take the time
to talk me down
when I start step over.

You're falling apart
but you still take the time
to make sure
I'm ok.

sometimes little things
can be big things
wearing a short sleeved shirt
can be a big thing

planets will spin in circles,
waves will crash upon rocks,
lights will cross the sky,
with or without me.

rain will fall and vapor will rise,
stars will collapse and explode,
evergreens will live and die,
with or without me.

worlds will turn,
matter will remain,
life will go on,
with or without me.
