Another Inch

Back me into a corner, Strip off every smile, Another moment to be erased, Put it in the pile, Peel away the light, Leave the misery raw, No I haven't forgotten, Haven't misplaced before, Every day, Another inch, Closer to the heights, That you create, No satisfaction, No release, Until you see me break, I can't see hope, Not even a distant gleam, Every exit route, Is never as it seems, Every remaining line, Arises cruel temptation, Nothing I can use, To soothe this inflammation, Every day, Another inch, Closer to the heights, That you create, No satisfaction, No release, Until you see me break.
