lyrics

If it's all in my mind if it's all in my mind if it's all in my mind if it's all in my mind
If it's all in my head if it's all in my head if it's all in my head if it's all in my head

I say I wanna open up but I'm having a time
A hard time with a puzzle piece I can't seem to find
I say I wanna be a complete but I don't wanna be done
Cuz if I put it all together who will I become
You know there's something kinda neat about being incomplete
No stranger to the danger of a blemish on your cheek
Less drama when you bruise you can always pick or choose
Which wound you wanna keep fresh to let the best screw

On this test tube path, I breeze past the new path
Straight into a ditch of which you can't come back
All I know is that I don't know nothin
But the self-awareness gotta count for something
Maybe a gift card to the mall I can go and have a ball
Buy a new life and redecorate my wall
Eat the whole pie don't save a crumb for y’all
See you all in hell - hope you catch me when I fall

If it's all in my mind why can't I be at the top all the time
If it's all in my head - it's not the end - so why pretend
If it's all in my mind why can't I be at the top all the time
If it's all in my head can it be that I really wanna see myself dead

Too many lights - pull back like a creature of the night
Eyes closed got the future in my sight
Monster mix - see the crowd. take a bite
No sleep - on the clock non-stop - tick tock
Don't treat the wound until this rock dream rots
No-one belongs in a throne on the top
But we still thrown away either way so why not
Take a chance on a blind man's hand
Eyes wide open for this dead man's plan
Dig a hole for your soul you can blame rock and roll
In the lap of the devil, you don't have the control
To control the temperature - we're all burning up
Food for the predator - better wish me luck
Born a competitor - never giving up
But in the muck of my mind I'm stuck
Yuck

If it's all in my mind why can't I be at the top all the time
If it's all in my head - it's not the end - so why pretend
If it's all in my mind why can't I be at the top all the time
If it's all in my head can it be that I really wanna see myself

Learn to take advice or pay the price
Don’t live life salt like too much soy on the rice
Maybe call up a friend - don't need a reason why
Tell em that you love em and wanted to say hi
Like for real - just be nice
I said don’t let the bad moods define your vibe
I said don't let the fuck ups throw off your fight
I said don't let the assholes become your life

I think it's all in my mind
I think it's all in your mind
I think it's all in my mind
I think it's all in your mind

If it's all in my mind why can't I be at the top all the time
If it's all in my head - it's not the end - so why pretend
If it's all in my mind why can't I be at the top all the time
If it's all in my head can it be that I really wanna see myself dead

Too many lights - pull back like a creature of the night
