Grow up

Longing for more

Or just enough

The cycle repeats itself

Struggling for survival

Struggling for self

Struggling for him

When does it let up?

When do we succeed?

When do we rest?


The cycle repeats itself

Never rich

Never enough

Always poor

Almost

Rock bottom

Not quite

There's always room for failure

Always heights to fall

There's always a canyon to climb

Infinity looms,

We are infinitely climbing

Together we climb.

We can't look back

Pillar of salt

We can't look down

Hell will swallow you whole

Mind body soul

Aches

Burning

pain

Just have to keep climbing

Though your nails bend away from their beds

And the blood makes you slip fast

Though you can't see straight

Though you hunger

Though you thirst

Something better has to lie ahead

Something better has to be above you

Dig in your heels

Dig in your nails

Climb damn you

climb

Help me I'm falling

Help me I'm failing

Help me I'm crying

Help me I'm tired

Help me

I've fallen through the cracks

I've fallen out of sight

No one cares enough

To care

No one cares enough to

Help.


This is what we've become

This is what's come to pass


The others keep on climbing

The others continue to move past.



We've become the forgotten

We've become the unimportant

We've become the dust

Beneath the feet of those

Who've left us behind



They'll keep moving onward

Until we look up into vertical horizon

And the dots they've become

Eventually disappear.

Darkness will envelop us

And they won't give a damn.

Here we'll stay

We can't climb out

Although we'll try.

In this place here.

Here.

In this hell

Down here

we'll die.
