Underwater

Falling down in this hole I found.
This narrow hole drags me down beneath the ground.
It leads me down without despair.
I can't find one simple breath of air.

I don't know where to go.
I don't know how to be.
I'm underwater.
And I can't survive.

You told me things that I never thought I'd hear.
Until you came I was livin' without fear.
You come down and beat my face.
I can't figure how you survive in this place.
Decending from the upper have known I'm here.
In this place with demonic taste.
I thought you'd help but you cut my hand.
I'm falling down and I'll never reach the end.

I don't know where to go.
I don't know how to be.
I'm underwater.
And I can't survive.
