i'm sliding
deep down into darkness
i can see the light above me
but i can't get up
i'm gripping the edge of okay
with all of my life
i don't want to fall
but i can feel my grip failing
my fingers are sliding so fast
i can taste my own fear
oh god, i'm going to fall back to where i was
i don't want to go back
why do i always go back?
why am i not strong enough to lift myself up?
oh god, please
will someone catch me?
