Bottom Of The Pit

(album: In Sound Mind - 2021)

I'm a little bit anxious
I'm a little unsure of where to go
I'm a little kid swallowed by the shadows
In the ocean and I know
It's a little bit daunting
It's a little bit scary when I'm alone
It's a little bit dark outside
When I'm uptight I call you on the phone

When we hang up I stay awake for a while
Wondering, if what you say is true, I am flawed but fixable
When I manage some shut-eye, oh, for all I know I might
Be slumbering, although I'd rather be dead on your couch

In my bed, in my head
There's a light but it's red
And I wander till waters bend around me
And surround me until I quit
What's this shining
At the far end of the road?
Oh, I admit, I'd rather see the dark end of a
Tunnel than the bottom of the pit

All I'm doing is aiding
All I offer to give is a helping hand
But I cannot see but two feet in front of me
So try to understand
If you're caught in a doorway
And a fire is nipping at your heel
If you're stuck on a sinking ship
Enjoy your trip and pray it isn't real

When I wake up I find that I'm hungry for more
Unsatisfied, oh, God I'm blue, but it will all be alright
If it wasn't for all these uninvited visitors
Outside, I'd say I'm having a damn good night

In my bed, in my head
There's a light but it's red
And I wander till waters bend around me
And surround me until I quit
What's this shining
At the far end of the road?
Oh, I admit, I'd rather see the dark end of a
Tunnel than the bottom of the pit

I'm in need of a captain
And I wish you were that for me today
I'm in need of a wax and feather
Set of wings and then I'll be okay
As long as I take off
When the sun can't burn away my dream
Don't know when I'll be back this way
Perhaps someday, don't wait

In my bed, in my head
There's a light but it's red
And I wander till waters bend around me
And surround me until I quit
What's this shining
At the far end of the road?
Oh, I admit, I'd rather see the dark end of a
Tunnel than the bottom
Tunnel than the bottom
Sunken to the bottom of the pit
