Confines of Our Minds

Written whilst still in bed this morning 12/29/21

My mind is on my own.

I don't mean to be unkind.

I don't mean to be shy,

But I just wanna get high.

Get high just to be alive.

If you're gonna fly tonight,

No matter where you go,

I'll be there to catch you when you fall.

And when the sun doesn't shine,

As you open your eyes,

And you know you don't need time,

To see the world and not be blind.

And all the times we watched the world pass by,

And all the little white lies,

They'll follow you in the sunlight,

Where the shadows hide out of sight.

In the valley of silence,

There is a place I can call my own,

And I will sing my song,

And I'll sing my heart out.

I will make the most of my time,

As it keeps me alive.

I see the danger of all the confines of our minds,

And I'm controlled by the tides.

Those serendipitous highs,

Are torn apart into pieces,

As the fathomless lows,

Spiral me out of control.

I can't control my soul.

All that my love unfolds,

All that my hate beholds,

And all that I have tried to hide,

Is a feeling that I can't describe,

Every time I try to speak from my mind.
