Deep Enough (song)

I'm such a sucker
for the smallest of things
clinging to what
shreds of decency I left long ago

the mere thought of it
makes my gag reflex go
how quickly my mind
races


I need to move
need to escape
from shallow hopes
of forgotten fate


all these pipe dreams
are flushing me out of me
how can I sit here
with naught but stupid
selfish poetry

give me a line
something to cross
I need to know
that I can finish
what I started


I need to move
need to escape
from shallow hopes
of forgotten fate

it's not too late
it's not too late
please tell me that
it's not too late
