    Default Cup's Run Dry

    Tonight I've screwed up, I've done my worst
    Life's no longer nice to me, it's like I've been cursed
    To wear this mask, beneath was once good
    The storm lasted only as long as I withstood
    When the storm blew over I had no strength left
    I gave it my best but ran out of breath
    I fell so low, dropped down to my knees
    I fought the hurricane but lost to the breeze

    I was a kite in the sky, I flew so high
    My cup was overflowing but now it's run dry
    My kite got snagged on a cloud and refused to come down
    I shouted so loud but it seems no one's gonna save me now
    All the monsters in the closet are beginning to growl
    The wind can howl, but no matter how loud
    Alone stands the mountain, it will never bow down

    I refused to be the reflection, I just wanna be me
    I guess it's a sin to fight conformity
    So now I'm trapped within this mirror
    The glass is warped, I wish it was clearer
    I'm the spirit in the stallion, they want me to beg
    I refused to be broken so they broke my legs
    They kick me while I'm down
    This smile fades to frown
    They want me as their clown
    And they refuse to let me drown
    I just get to tread the water and wait for the storm
    I thought I was alone but it seems it's the norm
    They're all the warden, I play the convict
    They stop the clock and I wait for the tick

    Tonight I screwed up, I've done my worst
    Life's no longer nice to me, it's like I've been cursed
    To wear this mask, beneath was once good
    The storm lasted only as long as I withstood
    When the storm blew over I had no strength left
    I gave it my best but ran out of breath
    I've fallen so low, dropped down to my knees
    I fought the hurricane but lost to the breeze

    This is so good that I think you should copyright stamp it before someone makes off with it.

    Yeah, seriously.

    Loved this line:

    "My kite got snagged upon a cloud and refused to come down"

    But, do you think "My kite got snagged on a cloud and refused to come down" would sound better?
