Too Lost

right now I can't manage
I can't handle it either
I'm living in hate
it's giving me a fever

Is this even healthy?
Do I really even care?
I throw myself around
and tear out my hair

I'm so lost 
and can't be found
this has got me spinnin'
round and round

I'm lost in my own world
I can't seem to find myself
every time I look around
I'm just sitting on the bottom shelf

I'm a nobody 
wandering around
searching for something
wanting to be found

but that's the real question
Do I really want to be found?
I'm not too sure 
I'm too dizzy from spinning around 

I'm lost in my own home 
and nobody understands
I just lie down
on my knees and hands

I'm just lost 
and maybe I'll be found
I first need to learn
how to stop spinning around

Is that the first thing?
I am too angry to say
maybe I'll try
some new strategies to play
