Bottomless Pit
The feeling is extremely powerful
And I'm becoming less and less imune
Seems as though I'm strong enough
Yet, not strong enough to move
The laughing is numb
More and more, I find myself unamused
Slightly elevated to the point where I'm confused
Slowly, yet painfuly, I come to the realization of reality
Perhaps insanity
Is it possible to see the darkness vividly?
Not an empty pit...
Yet, it seems to be
A lonesome feeling that seems to go on without end
And the slightlest bit of light may just ripple my vision
Would you believe me if I told you that the empty, endless pit is depression?
And that no matter how strong I am, it's a trap that i can't escape
The longer I feel this numbing pain,
The longer I feel the need to run away
Run until my feet bleed
Run until my legs are weak
Run until I can no longer breath
At least run far enough to get a glimpse of peace
