My mind is gone
Mind is going, going, gone...
Looked real hard but no one's home
Think I'll just sit and stare in space
Or find my mind in some other place
Doctor says I need some meds
Something is broken in my head
Gives me all these little pills
Specially made for the mentally ill
But I don't feel right feeling normal
Like a church service
That's a little too formal
My brain may be strange
But it is mine
So not being normal
Suits me just fine
Looked real hard but no one's home
Think I'll just sit and stare in space
Or find my mind in some other place
Doctor says I need some meds
Something is broken in my head
Gives me all these little pills
Specially made for the mentally ill
But I don't feel right feeling normal
Like a church service
That's a little too formal
My brain may be strange
But it is mine
So not being normal
Suits me just fine

Will I fly?
Don't know where I'm going
Only half of where I've been
I'm sinking in this quicksand
Past my neck in sin
One minute I'm flying high
Feeling good and loving life
The next I'm crying "why?"
With my throat pressed to a knife
Is what I see what really is?
Do the benefits outweigh the risks?
I don't think I can think anymore
My mind seems confused
You'd think after so many years
I'd be used to this self abuse
I don't even have good days or bad
I live moment to moment
Jumping from happy to sad ...
Only half of where I've been
I'm sinking in this quicksand
Past my neck in sin
One minute I'm flying high
Feeling good and loving life
The next I'm crying "why?"
With my throat pressed to a knife
Is what I see what really is?
Do the benefits outweigh the risks?
I don't think I can think anymore
My mind seems confused
You'd think after so many years
I'd be used to this self abuse
I don't even have good days or bad
I live moment to moment
Jumping from happy to sad ...

Nella mia fantasia / In my mind.
Nella mia fantasia,
fiori profumati sbocciano,
farfalle colorate si posano.
Pensieri gentili viaggiano,
al pari nelle nuvole bianche,
colorano il cielo.
Gentili nubi colorano il mio cielo.
Gentili nubi colorano il mio cielo.
Gentili nubi colorano il mio cielo.
Nella mia fantasia,
fiori rovinati cadono a terra morti,
farfalle sole si abbandonano,
Stati ansiosi interferiscono,
al pari delle nuvole nere,
colorano il cielo.
Crudeli nubi annebbiano le mie fantasie.
Crudeli nubi annebbiano...
fiori profumati sbocciano,
farfalle colorate si posano.
Pensieri gentili viaggiano,
al pari nelle nuvole bianche,
colorano il cielo.
Gentili nubi colorano il mio cielo.
Gentili nubi colorano il mio cielo.
Gentili nubi colorano il mio cielo.
Nella mia fantasia,
fiori rovinati cadono a terra morti,
farfalle sole si abbandonano,
Stati ansiosi interferiscono,
al pari delle nuvole nere,
colorano il cielo.
Crudeli nubi annebbiano le mie fantasie.
Crudeli nubi annebbiano...

Vegetable
I lay upon the floor
A blank staring man
No emotions at all
Lost in another land
My anxieties gone
No shackles at all
I'll stare into space
No worries at all
I'll be a vegetable
Just taking up space
Free of my burdens
In a new altered state
Come by and see me
I'll no longer cry
Won't smile either
Cause I'm dead inside
A blank staring man
No emotions at all
Lost in another land
My anxieties gone
No shackles at all
I'll stare into space
No worries at all
I'll be a vegetable
Just taking up space
Free of my burdens
In a new altered state
Come by and see me
I'll no longer cry
Won't smile either
Cause I'm dead inside

Blind
My mind is a mystery
A maze I wander through
Sometimes it's a beautiful retreat
A bubbling mountain spring
Cool and refreshing
Smell of honeysuckle
So sweet
Sometimes my mind is lost
Shrouded in darkness
I stumble blindly
With no destination
Not knowing where to go
Or which way to turn
Just wanting to get away
But afraid to move
A maze I wander through
Sometimes it's a beautiful retreat
A bubbling mountain spring
Cool and refreshing
Smell of honeysuckle
So sweet
Sometimes my mind is lost
Shrouded in darkness
I stumble blindly
With no destination
Not knowing where to go
Or which way to turn
Just wanting to get away
But afraid to move

Are you OK?
Are you OK?
Nobody knows
Too many feelings
I didn't want to show
You seem different
Than you were before
Like another person
Just walked through the door
Wide eyes
Wild stare
Looking far away
For something that's not there
Gotta make myself
Put on a show
Play that character
Everyone knows
Which is the real me
I wish I knew
I'm one whole person
Divided into
Am I OK?
I don't know
Two personalities battle
But which is the foe
Nobody knows
Too many feelings
I didn't want to show
You seem different
Than you were before
Like another person
Just walked through the door
Wide eyes
Wild stare
Looking far away
For something that's not there
Gotta make myself
Put on a show
Play that character
Everyone knows

I wish I knew

Divided into
Am I OK?
I don't know

Disappearing man
I'm the disappearing man
I can't be found when
Anyone else is around
I fade into the background
Don't bother looking for me
I don't want your attention
Don't speak, you wouldn't understand
You'd just give me
That uncomfortable glance
I tell myself to leave
I don't belong here
There's really not much to tell
I feel like I'm in hell
When I'm around everyone else
See the door
Noone will notice me leave
Don't stay, just walk away
I can't be found when
Anyone else is around
I fade into the background
Don't bother looking for me
I don't want your attention
Don't speak, you wouldn't understand
You'd just give me
That uncomfortable glance
I tell myself to leave
I don't belong here
There's really not much to tell
I feel like I'm in hell
When I'm around everyone else
See the door
Noone will notice me leave
Don't stay, just walk away

Beautiful Destruction
Beautiful Destruction
She was broken
Tainted and vile
Storming through a sea of hearts leaving them devistated
Addicted to the attention
She flaunted and teased
Realizing not the hurricane she created
She was broken
Tainted and vile
Hanging her head low
How could she even think to be wanted and loved
She sought no love
But validation and sin
She heavily drunk its booze
She was broken
Tainted and vile
Concluding that she was nothing more than destruction
Then with a gentle...
She was broken

Fragile
They've labeled me fragile
Handle with care
A brown paper bag
That's easy to tear
Better tread lightly
Around my fractured mind
Sometimes it is harsh
And feels no need to be kind
Other times it's the saddest song
That you've ever heard
The closing refrain
Of my funeral dirge
But it can find sunshine
Through the pouring rain
It's what keeps me going
Despite all the pain
Handle with care
A brown paper bag
That's easy to tear
Better tread lightly
Around my fractured mind
Sometimes it is harsh
And feels no need to be kind
Other times it's the saddest song
That you've ever heard
The closing refrain
Of my funeral dirge
But it can find sunshine
Through the pouring rain
It's what keeps me going
Despite all the pain

Locked inside
Sometimes I just want to be left alone
Feel much better by myself
No other thoughts but being at home
Locked inside my cell
When my mind wanders
It's dangerous for me
It goes to the depths of my soul
The darkest place for it to be
Please, please don't leave me
I'm a danger to myself
Please, please help me
Get me out of my own hell
Feel much better by myself
No other thoughts but being at home
Locked inside my cell
When my mind wanders
It's dangerous for me
It goes to the depths of my soul
The darkest place for it to be
Please, please don't leave me
I'm a danger to myself
Please, please help me
Get me out of my own hell

Smile again
Help me find my smile again
The love I had for all my friends
The beauty in a newborn day
The warmth inside a sunlit ray
Help me clear my clouded mind
Corroded with the sands of time
Bring back the joy of childhood dreams
When everything was so serene
Help me find the old me
When I wasn't consumed by worry
The love I had for all my friends
The beauty in a newborn day
The warmth inside a sunlit ray
Help me clear my clouded mind
Corroded with the sands of time
Bring back the joy of childhood dreams
When everything was so serene
Help me find the old me
When I wasn't consumed by worry

Darkness
I walk in eternal dusk
A faint light reveals hope
Just beyond my reach
There's a lingering thought
Of complete and utter darkness
Reaching out to consume me...
At any moment
A faint light reveals hope
Just beyond my reach
There's a lingering thought
Of complete and utter darkness
Reaching out to consume me...
At any moment
