Rock Bottom on Top of the World
  I’ve got everything I could ever want
  yet I'm not happy
  I have it good
  and act like I have it the worst
  I have a great life
  so why don't I act like it
  I should be in top of the world
  but I'm at rock bottom
  maybe I never really wanted what I had dreamed of all my life
  I am living my childhood fantasy
  I need a change
  it’s time for a new reality
  the problem is finding a dream
  something that is truly attainable
  I don’t need another fantasy that comes crashing down under the harsh views of reality
  I want something real
  something to hold on to
  I don’t want something that  will just slip through my hands like sand
  but I've committed myself to this fantasy I don’t even want anymore
  how do I let go of all those years of work to attain the unattainable
  all that work to not mean a thing
  how do I let go
  I never had a plan b
  I will be lost
  how do I find myself again once I cut the thing that has defined me from my life
  how do I figure out what to do next
  so I have to stay
  leaving would be too deadly
