It buries me deeper in misunderstanding,
and leaves me drowning in my own misery.
I can't stay down long,
I've been down there before,
I just don't know why I don't stop on the way down to the floor.
I know where it leads and I hate how it feels,
so why do I give in to the self loathing I feel?
Look up, eyes, look up!
Above you must focus,
or drown in your own depths and unrest.
For the Lord is above,
not down below.
To keep from falling again I must look high,
not low.
