Fetch

Fetch me from the bottom of this ocean
So tired of this pressure on me
Pressing down and crushing me
Hurts so much, so overwhelming

Punish me for being bad if you must
Tell me that I’ll never amount to anything
Push me to the floor and make me crawl
Turn me inside out with your words and fists

Don’t leave me under here
Trapped in the dark and cold
I don’t care that I’m all alone
But this weight is too much

How can anyone be expected to live
Under this constant stress and strain
Why can’t I just be happy for once
Can’t I ever feel good about myself

Maybe I don’t need a helping hand at all
But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t appreciate one
Would be nice to feel what kindness is like
Give me some warmth when I’m by myself

Don’t leave me under here
Trapped in the dark and cold
I don’t care that I’m all alone
But this weight is too much

I don’t mean to complain about everything
I’m just trying to survive like everyone else
Why do I have to hurt so much all the time
Can’t I just have one moment of peace

Don’t leave me under here

Trapped in the dark and cold
I don’t care that I’m all alone
But this weight is too much
