Day #103 - My Poor Mind

I know, I know. "Lee, Foo Fighter's already wrote a song very similar to this... geez... called 'My Poor Brain'? Pretty important to the flow of The Colour and the Shape, you know?"

Yeah, yeah, I know, but it couldn't be avoided. I wrote the lyrics, it had 'My Poor Mind' in it and I couldn't get around it, nothing suited better as a title. "Every Ghost" was close, but I have a thing against song names with ghost in them. Also songs with the word ghost in them, but I make some exceptions on my part. So... yeah. HERE IT IS!

---

Every ghost
That haunts these floors
Knows my name
But when I call
They won't change

Every ghost
That haunts this mind
Calls my name
But when I look
They won't stay

And it'll only be a matter of time before they swallow me whole
And take my poor mind
Only be a matter of time before they come for me and take
My poor mind
Only be a matter of days now---

Every door
In every room
Creaks my past
Creaks my wrongs

But every ghost
That passes through
Never judge
Never blink


And it'll only be a matter of time before they swallow me whole
And take my poor mind
Only be a matter of time before they come for me and take
My poor mind
Only be a matter of days now---

I can't stay here--
I can't stay here--
I won't stay
Stay
Stay
Stay
I won't stay--- here-

And it'll only be a matter of time before they swallow me whole
And take my poor mind
Only be a matter of time before they come for me and take
My poor mind
Only be a matter of days now---

And it'll only be a matter of time before they swallow me whole
And take my poor mind
Only be a matter of time before they come for me and take
My poor mind
Only be a matter of days now---
