Pull Me Under

Sordid masquerades abounding Whispers from the ghosts of friends Down that hall I've seen all Countless dreams of love come to an end In this barren desert, ooh this feeble mind is dry When all that you see is sand, all you can do is cave and cry I know it hurts sometimes and makes you wonder Will this fear pull me under Demons lurking, all surrounding Try to pull me under Pull me under Shun the wise, welcome confusers Turn their backs on all the losers Cast from heaven like poor Hephaustus No, they won't outbest us From that fall, my legs are broken My mouth is full of words, unspoken I fall where others lie The place where outcasts go to die I know it hurts sometimes and makes you wonder Will this fear pull me under Demons lurking, all surrounding Try to pull me under Vacant nerves strive for relief The restless mind's a cheerful thief This blue cliche', another day What can I say to disobey Disarming the vicious fray is useless, returns anyway Got nothing, nothing to say Done fighting Fire Away Crawling back and forth again The mind despondent, breaking in A peace surpassing every sin Is lost to civil war within A side of same belligerence, breeding same indifference Silent shrieks leer everywhere, a Plath-like phoenix eating air I know it hurts sometimes and makes you wonder Will this fear pull me under Demons lurking, all surrounding Try to pull me under It hurts sometimes and, still, I wonder Through years of lightning and roaring thunder But I know I am victorious It won't pull me under
