Take Me Under

I see little lights in the darkness

Flickering lights in the distance

They catch my eye

Maybe my eyes reflect them

Who's to know?

I need to find some wider themes

Deeper insights, richer seams

Why mine the same barren stone?

It does me no good, it'll take me under

It does me no good, it'll take me under

I'm all for self-sacrifice but what's in it for me?

Do I get one last laughable search for the key?

But I'm not alone, not alone, not alone,

not alone, not alone

I am not alone

I see little lights in the silence

Shimmering lights in the stillness

They catch my eye

Maybe my eyes reflect them

I'll never know

These little things, they'll take me under

These little things, they'll take me under

These brittle things, they'll take me under

Self-critical things, they'll take me under
