Emerge / Descend

I fumble around in this caliginous den There's a light up there If I just climb up this wall I'll be free My finger nails are bleeding I leave scratch marks on the walls My whole body is aching As I'm trying my best To get out of this hole I'm getting closer I can feel the air getting thinner It's easier to breathe I'm reaching for the edge Almost there Suddenly The two of you appear You're smiling She's smiling I feel the sole of your shoe As you're kicking me in the face And I fall Down Instantly I hit the ground The light burns out The darkness surrounds me I am trapped In this den And I can't find the strength to climb up these walls again
