Lost In My Mind

Lost In My Mind Lost in my own world So hungry So thirsty Where are the animals? Where is the water? Where is the light? There isn’t one star to guide me The sky is full of faint lights To far away to help me find my way No hope of ever seeing the sun again It is a world of black My mind is making me do without Maybe it wants to kill me I do not know I do not care Let it bring starvation Let my tongue swell with thirst I will fight with my last breath Struggling against my mind I will not let it win I cannot let it win I am stronger than anything my mind can create It can keep its barren world It can keep the dry river beds I will survive despite my mind I will survive
