La Unwindin’ Mind ove Mine
Took a breath
Of your death
Upon my tongue…
Burnt a lung…
In the process
Of my hopeless state
I’m making progress
As of late, as of late
So young and awkwardly long
I can’t believe I don’t belong
So wrong, it feels right all along
You smoked me out like weed in the bong
So hung and dry
I don’t want to die
I’m just shy and this guy…
Willing to fly, fly, fly
How dare you, unwinding mind of mine
My unwinding mind won’t shine
The stars aren’t align…
But, I’m feeling fine
Lunging in waters
Mind in the gutters
Lost in brief grief
Need some relief
Hold on to me
Let go of envy
Glee sets me free, happy as can be
So I no longer grieve on my sleeve
Grief-stricken feelings substantially
Made its final leave, its final leave
So young and awkwardly long
I can’t believe I don’t belong
So wrong, it feels right all along
You smoked me out like weed in the bong
So hung and dry
I don’t want to die
I’m just shy and this guy…
Willing to fly, fly, fly
How dare you, unwinding mind of mine
My unwinding mind won’t shine
The stars aren’t align…
But, I’m feeling fine
My unwinding mind
Got me feeling blind with grime
My kind of kind
Took for granted every time
You’re still in the streets once more all this time
This time, I’m learning to win your tough love
And lose myself in the weeds in which I climb
Inside…smoked out from the thought of up above
So young and awkwardly long
I can’t believe I don’t belong
So wrong, it feels right all along
You smoked me out like weed in the bong
So hung and dry
I don’t want to die
I’m just shy and this guy…
Willing to fly, fly, fly
How dare you, unwinding mind of mine
My unwinding mind won’t shine
The stars aren’t align…
But, I’m feeling fine
Is it my fault that I stroke
The cigarette from your hand?
Is it my fault I misspoke
When I couldn’t quite understand?
Now, I know where you stand
My unwinding mind
Is but a broken-up, strange band
I’m your kind of kind…
So young and awkwardly long
I can’t believe I don’t belong
So wrong, it feels right all along
You smoked me out like weed in the bong
So hung and dry
I don’t want to die
I’m just shy and this guy…
Willing to fly, fly, fly
How dare you, unwinding mind of mine
My unwinding mind won’t shine
The stars aren’t align…
But, I’m feeling fine
If only you’d open up your mind to me
If only I could see you again someday
Man, you made me feel so broken frankly
Honestly, I don’t want to feel this dismay
So young and awkwardly long
I can’t believe I don’t belong
So wrong, it feels right all along
You smoked me out like weed in the bong
So hung and dry
I don’t want to die
I’m just shy and this guy…
Willing to fly, fly, fly
How dare you, unwinding mind of mine
My unwinding mind won’t shine
The stars aren’t align…
But, I’m feeling fine
Willing to repair my tongue and lung that once sung a sweet song
How dare you, unwinding mind of mine
My mind can’t decipher right from wrong
My unwinding mind is so far from fine
So hung and low from the way I lusted after change all along
Maybe God has given me some sort of sign
My mind and heart are playing ping-pong
Thoughtlessly unwinding my mind and what’s mine
Because you took away my young heart as it flies its boldly shine
