UG Cuff

I was jumping through time just the other day
Then I started sweating in the worst kind of way
Life flashed before me as I was thinking poor me
Images of trauma display right before me
How did I get inside this place where I
Had to breathe heavy just to survive
I cried thinking about the times I almost died
By my own hands still I'm glad they weren't tied
Crawling out the gutter it may have built character
It also caused wounds which I never can repair
Things make more sense after bouts of despair
But you can see it on my face that I'm worse for the wear

I stay underground to protect myself
Cause deep down inside I respect myself
Don't be surprised if I don't ask for help
When all else fails I reach for the shelf

Faith is reflected from strength
I learn to survive at any length
Excuses are windows despite where the wind blows
I choose to chase a safe haven for repose

I stay underground to protect myself
Cuz deep down inside I respect myself
Don't be surprised if I don't ask for help
When all else fails I reach for the shelf
