Otep - Crawling Up (Spoken Word Poem) lyrics

[Verse] Crawling up from the wreckage daily A life of crawling from the crater from the dents from the Depths From the flames from the edge from the bottom from the Awful emptiness Crawling up my spine into my mind Crawling up my from the grave from the way from the bays of Sadness Surrounding me drowning me Crawling up daily And wavering a way to escape from the pain from the way They Break me down Crawling up for the light for the fight for slight Pinhole diamond shining through the lazy hues of the vast Expense Of the endless night Crawling up over the lip down the doom Through the ruins from the dust and savage sands to the next Craggy shaft of Soggy loam slipping back down the sludge gripping with fist Coated in stinking mud Crawling up and digging in spirit split splintered needles Chipped and thin I pause To reclaim my breath, to punish these dreams of quiet Surrender to remember That I do not stop, I don't give up I don't give a f** I don't Give in So I begin, again crawling up crawling out crawling away Over the moaning bones of those who choose, to quit and Remain I don't a f** I don't a f**
