Lost in a sea of endless troubles
Locked in a room without a key
Brain is frantic, sick with what’ll
Surely be the end of me

Lost in an hour of dark despair
The clock is growing slower still
My heart is caving in, a tear
Is reaching down, in for the kill

As my life comes crumbling down
Lies broken, like my trembling heart
I gather up the strength I’ve fond
For at last, I shall depart

Oops!

If you haven't figured it out, the second to last line should read:

I gather up the strength I've *found
