Whenever my eyes are closed I feel as though nothing else is around
I sink in through the hole of the white rabbit
No I'll never admit this to be a habit
There is no shame in finding a way to escape
Especially when not all the pieces can be fixed with tape
For the first time ever I have found bliss in my soul
For the first time ever I found the thoughts to make myself whole

I have sunk through the fields of sand
With nothing else to stick out then this pleading hand
I will not waive my white flag even in my final moment
Even as I dig this grave deeper and deeper beneath the ground
Locked away with no escape for even a sound
This subterranean trench beneath the earth
Has brought me to start questioning my worth

If nobody ever seems to come my way
If nobody ever seems to want to save the day
I will not fear the countdown to doom
I will not submit to the shroud of gloom
I have been here before I know I could do it again
I'll close my eyes and for the moment I pretend

For so long I have looked around and found so many seats to fill
The doctors have told me to take their little pill
To situate the demons restlessly residing on my mind
But I just don't want to end up that way
Not another over night hospital stay
For you to tell me how you know my thoughts better then me
I can find a way on my own and you will eventually see

That hour glass has never been a friend of mine
I've always seemed to face this struggle with time
Overwhelmed with the stress of seeking the sublime
Wondering just how much longer it may take

If nobody ever seems to come my way
If nobody ever seems to want to save the day
I will not fear the countdown to doom
I will not submit to the shroud of gloom
I have been here before I know I could do it again
I'll close my eyes and for the moment I pretend

In the final moment when all seems it will surly fail
From this coffin you'll take out every nail
I'll emerge from the cloud of smoke
A phoenix with words still left to be spoke
