Digging a hole when it's raining
If this is progress, I need some reframing
Earth slides back into my tomb
As these waters inch higher and higher
Digging a hole now that it's drier
Mud's hard cracked amongst my brow
Sediments find their way into my breath
As my lungs depress in exhaustion

Digging a hole when it's raining
Climbing a wall, screaming for a rung
This is the process, I want no part
Rain pours down my neck, boots are too heavy
As the waters consume me I can't step
The walls crumble under desperation
Room for error fades into the past
Take on water I begin to drown
As my lungs compress for the last depress
