Have I Lost My Mind

have I lost my mind
slave to the grind
this is not what I imagined
when I was young
freedom now 
the gate was sprung
now I'm sober
pain undone
its an aching inside
that leads me to die
that I still have to fight
even though its not right
I have to find a way
to keep this peace
and keep the drugs away
