I bite my tongue
Bleeding out
I see survivors...
On the sure

Screaming thoughts
Got me caught
In the belly of the beast
I am pieced apart
As I fight to stay

Tracking back
Facing forwards

Stuck in the belly
Turns my knees to jelly
Petrify me paralyzed

Cries unheard
Knowing I'm anchored
And stuck on rung one
Survivors are speaking
In tongues...

And The cost of being a lost cause,
Overshadows the knows I know not of

Been here before
I keep coming back
For more

I think I get it---
As I am...
