Mousetraps

Underneath the surface where I came unstuck
Dove too fast, dove too deep when I shouldn’t have
Never thought this action would have consequence
This time the mousetrap got me fair and square
Head first into oblivion blinded by the sun
Bone, rock, stone and skin, that’s the way it went
I washed up on the shore one summer just by rabbit hill
I washed up on the shore, I almost lost it all
Clouded vision, hard to breathe, I cannot see,
I need to swim, I’ve gotta fight here and now
I almost lost it all
My life flashed in front of me
And the shoreline never felt so far away
My life right before my eyes
And the shallow waters never felt so deep
I could be lost at sea
Drifting motionlessly
My whole life before my eyes
In the mousetrap stuck again
My whole life before my eyes
When the mousetrap stuck
