lyrics

I wish that I had a different mind
Because I don't like my thoughts sometimes
I wish that I had different eyes
Because I don't like what I see sometimes

I’ve been blessed
I’ve been given less
I’ve got no reasons to complain

But sometimes
Can’t help but fold
When something evil swims into my soul

Some gloomy ghost
That appears
To twist my lonely heart into tears

Then I can’t breathe
And it won’t leave
A sadness so strong it brings me to my knees

But I won’t break no, I never do
But still it’s so damn hard to push through

I wish that I had a different mind
Because I don't like my thoughts sometimes
I wish that I had different eyes
Because I don't like what I see sometimes

I’m so soft inside
I fear I’ll melt if I go outside

All my soul seeps through these holes
I wish that I could plug myself up sometimes

Everyone wears a mask
Where can I find one I ask

They bury down in drink and drugs
But dry inside from lack of love

But love’s all I’ve got to give it seems
It tears me apart til I bleed

I wish that I had a different mind
Because I don't like my thoughts sometimes
I wish that I had different eyes
Because I don't like what I see sometimes

But I’m strong enough it seems to sing my songs
I’m brave enough to peer into my soul
Whether it is black or blue or darker than the darkest night
I shall crawl on through and find my True Will
