Lost



When you look at me what do you see?
You see someone who has lost herself in a haze.
Now she's stuck in a maze trying to find her way back.
Every time she thinks she is going the right way,
She finds a dead end.
So she goes back the way she came.
 Lost in the maze,
 Lost in the haze.
Going round in circles,
Will I ever find a way out of the haze?
I have people who try to help me but it all gets lost in translation,
I feel like I have no motivation.
I'm on a downward slope,
I have no hope.
This maze is my cage and I've got to find a way out.
it's all in my mind,
Take it one day at a time.
 Lost in the maze,
 Lost in the haze.
