As I Try to Stand Up Tall
You push me down until I fall
And now I’m trapped inside the ground
A hole so deep I can’t get out
I sense the air getting thin
And feel the walls closing in
I scream, I pout
I kick, I shout
But you don’t even care
You’re up so high, you laugh and grin,
Somehow you knew you’d always win
You created the dirt that’s all around me,
Swallowing dreams in its mucky brown sea
And now I take my last breath nice and deep
As I pray to God my soul to keep.
