No Exit

Back and forth, we go around
No matter how many times
Scream and pound and struggle
Against the chains locking us down

Pulling us under, into the depths
Can’t breathe the air any longer
Hold our breaths as long as we can
Have to let go sometime, though

Push and pull, arms aching with

Failing strength, falling under
Over and over, once again, no hope
No path to move forward on anymore
