State Of Mind

We talk with ourselves more than anyone

It's our own presence we cannot outrun

With ourselves we have a nonstop interaction

Making the mind of mankind a powerful contraption

Our thoughts can create a heaven of hell

But it can turn hell into a heaven as well

Glorified nightmares or forsaken dreams

In man's mind nothing is what it seems

This reasoning is food for thought but rationalizing I cannot

It is why I'm starving and feeling distraught

Burying my deepest thoughts in my mental graveyard
From rationality I depart for it's my own mind I guard

Concealing the emotions that aren't feeling appealing

Kneeling as I'm praying to find my inner healing

Despising all this revising and analyzing

Realizing it's my flaws I'm always emphasizing

Thinking that maybe it's my soul I need to sell

To escape the weaknesses in which I dwell

Nobody is perfect yet perfection is what we aspire 

It causes my mind to be surrounded by hell fire

Wishing I could extinguish every single flame

Achieving a heaven state of mind is my primary aim

Believing that one day it's this inferno I'll leave behind

Yet fearful that this hope is deceiving my mind

It is in the oceans of my emotions that I still drown

Because the devils on my shoulders keep weighing me down
