Well here I am again, trapped in this prison
This stupid prison I call my mind
Locked in with these thoughts as they’re constantly risen
Looking for the light I had hoped to find
Searching for answers to all of these questions
Constantly building, my world effervescent
I’m sick and tired of all their suggestions
I’m done with the Xanax and antidepressants

I find myself lost, and suddenly then
I find myself back in here again
I try to get out, to escape the pain
But all of my efforts have ended in vain

Therapy, therapy, please fill the void
Help me to find out what’s wrong with my head
Put back the pieces of my life destroyed
At this point I think I’d be better off dead
But I know that I can’t do something so foolish
I know my folks would miss me if I’m gone
But I’m tired of feeling so hopeless and ghoulish
I think that it’s finally time to move on

I find myself lost, and suddenly then
I find myself back in here again
I try to get out, to escape the pain
But all of my efforts have ended in vain

Finally breaking through my mind’s blockade
Crushing dark thoughts and my own deepest fears
Digging myself out of this hole I’ve made
I’m purging this shadow that’s plagued me for years
I’m finally doing it, climbing the mountain
I think I am reaching the end of my fall
Just reach through the depths and seal the dark fountain
Maybe things won’t be so bad after all

I find myself lost, and suddenly then
I find myself back in here again
I try to get out, to escape the pain
Maybe this effort won’t end in vain
A lyric I wrote for a songwriting class, it's one of my favorite pieces. That second verse is easily one of the best things I've ever written.
