The Well

I have walked and I have wandered
 I have tripped and I have fell
 In the ditches and the gutters
 I have drowned inside the well
 I should take what you have given
 Lock it up and keep it safe
 Never waste another moment
 Never throw your words away
 I'm not waiting any longer
 For the meaning or the moment
 To reveal what is perfect
 I will find my way out of the well
 I am lost, I am defeated
 I am everything I hate
 Buried deep under the ground now
 My words echo in the cave
 Open up and let the doubt in
 Hold my breath and suffocate
 There is no one who can touch me
 I am lord of this domain
 They say that drowning is slow
 And peaceful when you finally go
 You live your whole life in that moment
 Then you're gone
 I won't hesitate to wonder
 What will happen if I fail
 I can promise me a beating
 I will beat myself into the ground
