Now I feel it It surrounds me every minute, now I feel it Nothing else and I can't see through it Can't move through it Oh, it clings to me, pulls me down Pulls me deep, deep down Just my voice and mine alone, just my voice and mine alone Just my touch and mine alone, just my touch Oh, I stumble, oh how I stumble I stumble over every breath Every out-pour, every outlet I fall at every hurdle I set I hold it against myself, won't let myself forget Just my voice and mine alone, just my voice and mine alone Just my touch and mine alone, just my touch and mine alone Just my voice and mine alone, just my voice and mine alone Just my touch and mine alone, just my touch Just my touch and mine alone, just my touch

Oh, I've spent too long down here I need to leave I've forgotten how it feels to be out of here So I start to move back up Need to move myself back to the surface Nothing I can do down here I just burn down here I just burn down here I can't argue down here But I can do nothing To help myself Nothing to help myself Down here, down here Need to leave again And pull myself back out And move back out in the world Move myself back out Move away from things down here Oh, nothing I can do Nothing I can do down here Nothing I, nothing I can do down here Nothing I can do down here

about

I try to step out into the world, try to move beyond myself but I stumble and begin the long, unending fall Inwards.

I fall down past my words and actions until I find myself aware of every movement and utterance of my body. Everything becomes a calculation, a response to a response, nothing flowing freely.

So I retreat to spaces where my actions cannot be reflected in others. Where I do not have to judge their reactions. Until I find myself deep Within - alone and unreachable.

But there's nothing for me down here and with every passing second I become less sure of myself and drift further from who I am and the actions that define me.

I must separate myself from that part of me that watches for my value in others. I must push back against the emptiness, begin the long journey Outwards, and slowly start to resurface.
