Illegal Mind


I’m walking Down this dangerous path And I’m holding everything back I’m crying for someone to save me But no one hears my tears So I’ll keep walking on Like nothings ever been wrong It’s in my mind It happens all the time And when I’m strong It feels all wrong My illegal mind My illegal mind It happens all time It’s haunting my mind Illegal mind Capturing my soul Because it’s all I’ll ever know Illegal mind So you stare at me Like you know there’s something wrong Because I’m hurting And you can hear it in my song You see me crying But I deny all the pain It’s something I’m ashamed of And you know it’s all the same Illegal mind It happens all the time And when everything’s fine It’s never all fine Illegal mind Walk with me Ill shed some tears It’s all the same Shattered fears You talk with me But it won’t ever change It’ll never be contained Illegal mind It happens all the time I’ll never be fine Illegal mind
