Bury It

Bury it deeper this time

So far down I’ll never see the sun

I’d rather drown in memories

Than hurt myself again

Trying too hard to maintain grip

Of something that isn’t mine to hold

Those fantasies I fell for

Keep me treading water

And if I were to let them go

I’d have to learn to swim again

And I’m not so sure there’s solid ground

Waiting there below

And maybe it’s not worth the risk

To put feet down to find out

Maybe I’m just better off

So far down in dreams I’ll never know

That no one outside ever sees

My struggles for the surface
