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

Silence is my weapon
An electric, invisible forcefield
That grows everyday  
Until I am left
With no one
For miles around

They fear the night
because the scary things slink out
And hide in the darkness
Waiting

Myself, the day is far more dangerous
Because they don't have to hide
When they look just like us
When they are us

I wish I could cry
At least then I'd know I was feeling something
As it is, I'm down here at the bottom of the ocean
I dove deep looking for an oxygen mask
And someone to help me put it on
