state of mind

song

By Blake RobertPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

[Verse]

In the mirror there's a stranger staring back

Eyes so heavy like they're carrying the past

Wrist tracing maps of scars that never fade

The clock is spinning but the moment stays the same

[Verse 2]

I hear whispers from the corners of my brain

Echoes louder when I try to numb the pain

when I turn to the bottle it makes me go insane

Tides are rising but I'm standing in the flood

Searching for a way to turn the stone to blood

[Chorus]

State of mind's a battlefield I can't define

I'm lost and found inside the war of time

A shattered compass points to places I can't go

State of mind's a riddle only fucking chaos knows

[Verse 3]

There's a fire burning quiet in my chest

Flickers fucking brighter when I try to take a breath

Shadows dancing on the walls of what I've built

A fragile castle where the ghosts all roam fucking free

[Bridge]

I wear my silence like a crown of broken glass

Every step I take it cuts me to the past

But there's beauty in the madness I can't hide

State of mind's a journey I can't confide

[Chorus]

State of mind's a battlefield I can't define

I'm lost and found inside the war of time

A shattered compass points to places I can't go

State of mind's a riddle only fucking chaos knows
