I lost my mind
I have no answers
I just keep sitting here
right where you can see me
even though
you're looking at the girls
looking at the girls
I lost my mind
I just keep screaming
I couldn't keep her
you have to see me
even though you’re looking
looking at the girls
looking at the girls
looking at the girls
cops in kippahs
ancient temples
see a ghost
death came also
by sin, a rose
say hello
snakes, singing
I'm Orlando
an Indian, a Coke
outside, dark cold
down here, too warm
waste and bones
don't judge the ones you love the most
don't spurn the slave to save the host
don’t curse the bug beneath your shoe
it could be me I could be you
I walked around my corner
walked underneath the stairs
pile of wet glistening trash
hulking beside me
rats dashing back and forth across my path
pretended like they were my friends
as if I would ever
I lost my mind
I have no answers
I just keep sitting here
right where you can see me
even though you’re looking
looking at the girls
looking at the girls
I lost my mind
I have no answers
I just keep screaming
I couldn’t keep her
even though you’re looking
looking at the girls
looking at the girls
