Changed a truckload of the lyrics. Tightened up the phrasing. Added a Mark Twain quote as a bridge.
lyrics
Inside my mind
The voices are calling, but I don't wanna go
And every time
The engine's stalling, in the middle of the road
The world spins round & round
Nothing left to show
Nothing left to show
I can't slow down
The race has started and I can't fall behind
Slip out of town
There's a sinking feeling that gets me every time
When the day is done, the race is run
I learn that I can fly
When I'm not paralyzed
And when I wake up
I learn that I can be enough
To try to show the world that
I won't stay on my knees
And if I fall down
You know that I won't stick around
I'll figure out what I'm about
I'm shaking this disease
When I feel safe
I know that I should make another choice
Another way
Another route to move beyond the noise
The world spins upside down
Too easy to destroy
Too pleasing to enjoy
And when I wake up
I learn that I can be enough
To try to show the world that
I won't stay on my knees
And if I fall down
You know that I won't stick around
I'll figure out what I'm about
I'm healing by degrees
I've lived through some terrible things, some terrible things
And some of them actually happened
Inside my mind
The voices are calling, and I don't need to go
