My mind is going through the process of catharsis,
Everywhere I look I'm filled with eerie darkness
One minute I spot a candle of flickering hope,
The next I'm drowning, struggling to cope
I'm flailing, screaming, numb with the pain,
The thunder bellows with the pouring rain
My head above the water, my heart anchored to land,
Finally capturing a breath, I'm stranded on the sand
Slowly I resurface, I'm swimming to the shore,
Soon I'll be invincible, I'm stronger than before
Shining in the distance is a vivid lighthouse,
A symbol of radiance that overshadows my doubts
Emerging closer and closer to reaching my goal,
Emitting the power that the world once stole
When you're trapped in a cage of your own emotions,
Exposed to words and intricate notions
There's no way to escape, no fire exit this time,
No key to this lock, no solutions to the crime
Just hunt for your lighthouse, your symbol of power,
Your magical wand, your hidden tower
Find your definition of happiness,
Take your daily dose of unaccounted bliss
Search for your lighthouse, your cure for the pain,
Take a different route to reach the same lane
There's always some paint to patch up the blue,
There's always a needle to re-stitch the strewn
Find that ember that'll rekindle your spark,
Hunt for your lighthouse when you're stranded in the dark.
