(Korpela)

Climb out of the pit
Just to fall back down again
Lying at the bottom
With dirt in my eyes
Every single time the ledge
Crumbles in my hands
Mocking my failure
Crushing my hope

Mock my failure

I lie every day
Pretend I'm something I've never been
I lie all the time
Pretend I have what I've never had
I lie to everyone
Pretend I'm not what I am
I lie to myself
Pretend there's a way out of the pit

Mudslide wash away
My ladder of torn off fingernails
Staring into the puddle
Not deep enough to drown
Nothing to fear but fear itself
But I'm afraid
All I have
Is plenty of fears

The flicker above, too distant a goal
May mother earth swallow me whole

Lying at the bottom of the pit
Once again
Too tired to try to
Climb back up anymore
Wish I had the strength
To make the pit collapse
Wish someone would start
Shoveling down the dirt

There's no way out

I lie every day
Pretend I'm something I've never been
I lie all the time
Pretend I have what I've never had
I lie to everyone
Pretend I'm not what I am
I lie to myself
Pretend there's a way...

I lie...I lie...
Pretend there's a way out of the pit

There's no way out
