Life above the horizon

I am going to face a phd thesis proposal session... actually I dun have confidence in my topic at all.. feeling like I am on a ship which is going to sink soon! Have been working on this project for too long (2 years)... now finally I realise that it isn't a great project at all.. can it really earn me a PhD.. I feel very doubtful about that! How? How? How? Keep feeling unhappy and unsecure these few days.. Don't really have the motivation to carry on working.. maybe I should have a rest.. but I just back from long vacation!!! hahaha.. conflicting ya? so what can I do? What should I do.. someone please teach me?? Listening to "BY Myself" - Linkin Park

*****************************
What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself

I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
