Lyrics

OUT OF MIND

Thinking of you again
As morning starts to breathe
The way you turn your face from the sun
The way you don?t believe in anything.
No passion in your kiss
You cry out in your sleep
Freeze each and every feeling you possess
Afraid to run too deep.

And you say that it?s too high for you to climb,
This mountain I?ve been scaling all my life.
You know the road, you see the signs,
You just choose to keep them Out Of Mind.

Painter who never paints
Your brushes cobweb-strung,
Your canvasses lie tattered and fading
Forgotten much too young.

Still, through the broken doors from time to time
I see the shadow of the man inside
It?s not that he?s so hard to find,
You just choose to keep him Out Of Mind.

Trapped inside the prison you designed
You walk the lonely corridors all night.
Too scared to smash the walls and run outside,
Too scared to burn a torch and light the blind dark where you always hide.

Thought you could be with me
Thought you were of my tribe
Thought you could be with me
But you?re afraid to try.

?Cause you say that it?s too high for you to climb,
This mountain I?ve been scaling all my life.
You know the road, you see the signs,
You just choose to keep them Out Of Mind.
And I know I need a rhythm for my rhyme,
A love to share the days that make a life
So if you?ll never grow into my kind,
I?ll have to learn to keep you Out Of Mind
I?ll have to learn to keep you Out Of Mind
Teach me how to keep you Out Of Mind.
