Unless you have been  
Deep down in that dark hole
You can never understand
The hopeless force
That causes us to keep digging

The ladder only reaches so far
And I'm exhausted from climbing
Trying to reach it
With broken, ****** fingernails
While you stand there at the top
Checking your watch

So I keep digging
Thinking maybe,
If I go deep enough,
I'll someday end up
On the other side
