I admire people in the maze Where life keeps drawing out They move through it with empty hands No smoke, no wine, no doubt They try to help you find the light Out of love, they reach for you They can’t see the wounds I hide Or what I’m trying to do Go outside you need connections Plus the sun can help forget Bitch, I’m stuck inside my head With things I can’t reset For now, I sit For now, I watch Dear mind, dear mind Stop showing me all that For now, I sit And I won’t quit So please, dear mind Stop showing me all that My mind goes through the day Trying to keep me home Trying to pull me under When I reach for any rope I hear the little warnings At the edge of every thought Still I’m here, still breathing Even when I’m caught Go outside, you need connections They can help to bring you back Bitch! I said I’m in my head With things I can’t forget For now, I sit For now, I watch Dear mind, dear mind Stop showing me all that For now, I sit And sniff, and sip But then, dear mind Stop showing me all that I don’t need a speech I don’t need a cure Just a little room Just a little more If I stand up slow Maybe I won’t break If I take one step Maybe I can wake Right now, I sit And cry, I watch Dear mind, why now Stop showing me that shit I stand, I sit I smoke, I watch I’m good, dear mind Now please stop this bullshit For now I sit and watch cry and then lie to myself Have mercy, dear mind Please stop just some time I need a break from time Give me some time
