    Story Behind the Song
    This song took me a few weeks to write. I tinkered with the music until I got it just right, and subsequently used it for an extra credit assignment in my chemistry class. For a painful week, I stumbled over lyrics, trying to make sense of this song. As in all my songs, this one is particularly melodramatic, but its just a few poetic hyperbolies.

    Lyrics
    There's no lighthouse to keep me from running aground
    But here I am still lying face down
    I've got a cut on my soul, but not a chip on my shoulder
    With this oil to patch my wounds as the
    darkness falls down

    and I'm not sure how to catch it
    and I just don't know what I'm fighting for
    don't tear me down, I'm already on the ground
    I'm not sure how it feels
    to be me

    Eyes to the sky, hands clasped whispering to myself
    Will I be saved?
    It's a guessing game no less but can I feel it down
    under what I show out and I won't be
    dragged down

    but I hope they know to catch me
    and I just don't know what I'm fighting for
    don't tear me down, I'm already on the ground
    I'm not sure how it feels
    to be me

    but I hope they know to catch me
    and I just don't know what I'm fighting for
    don't tear me down, I'm already on the ground
    I'm not sure how it feels
    when darkness falls

    but I hope they know to catch me
    and I just don't know what I'm fighting for
    don't tear me down, I'm already on the ground
    I'm not sure how it feels
    to be me
