Douglas Holmquist something beneath

Just waiting all the time could destroy you
You wonder if there's something beneath
Not even someone there to deploy you
You try to grab it but you can't reach
Its just enough to keep on trying
But not enough to keep from dying
But you're still here and it still hurts
So you'd better try again
Ascending all the time could destroy you
It feels like there is something beneath
The smallest things begins to annoy you
This goal of yours is just out of reach
