Clawing out the Mud

[Verse 1]

I've heard so many questions

That has me asking how,

People can be so insensitive towards others

Some ask, "What do you do?",

As if to degrade you

Like they don't see you fighting every day-

[Chorus]

I'm clawing my way through the mud

Climbing back to the surface,

You wouldn't notice

Cause it's an unseen battle

I'm constantly choked up, from the dirt,

Inside my lungs

I do a lot that you will never see

Cause I'm clawing out the mud,

[Verse 2]

Each handful of that slick, wet ground,

Is another inch closer to the surface

I get to breathe in something other

Than dust and muck,

I suppose you can't relate

And to me, that's great

Cause I would never want you to experience

A pain like this,

[Chorus]

I'm clawing my way through the mud

Climbing back to the surface,

You wouldn't notice

Cause it's an unseen battle

I'm constantly choked up, from the dirt,

Inside my lungs

I do a lot that you will never see

Cause I'm clawing out the mud,

[Bridge]

Don't ask questions when you wouldn't

Understand the answers I have,

Quit assuming that I do nothing

When my focus is on staying sane

While the world falls into a state of

Pure insanity,

Just because you don't see the fight

Doesn't mean I'm not fighting,

But the enemy is...me-

[Outro]

I'm clawing my way out of the mud

Trying to reach the surface,

For nothing more than to finally

Breathe-
