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.
