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
