#3 from Lullabies by Seth Hanson

There's a chain around my ankle,
It's weight pulling me downwards
Struggling under water leaves me nothing but tired.

And the mud that's on the bottom
Doesn't stop me,
It's no relief.
It's just shadow
And it's scary cause it just lets me go.

And there's bedrock down there too.
You'd think it's solid so's that I won't slip through,
But the cracks along its sides are just wide enough to let me by.
It's bedrock, and it scares me because it's broken.

Beneath it's molten metal flowing.
Rotating in dance, just anguish in ash
And miles and miles of tumbling fast.
It's magma, and it's scary cause it won't stay still

After that, it's just pressure that builds.
