Dirt under my nails

Digging my own grave

Why can’t I stop

It’s the pain I crave

My fingertips are bleeding

Yet still I dig

What am I trying to find

Must be something big

Insanity is not far

I feel reality slipping

I must be going crazy

Something evil is chipping

I see myself falling

I just can’t catch me

There is no one there

To reach out and snatch me
