lyrics

A hundred years before, the grass was green
With springtime blooming all around us
With golden-tinted eyes I saw the world
As just a playground, bright as Christmas

Till the gold, it peeled to reveal
Hollow tin lies
I retreated and hid back
In my own mind
In my mind

So once upon a time I was a shattered soul,
A being of bare existence
Thought that ignorance and innocence both coalesced
To form this thing called confidence

So I spent an entire dark century
Biding time
As a guard and a prisoner
Of my own mind
Of my mind

And twice upon a time, I saw a sign
But made believe I didn't see it
Thought that anyone who loved themselves just didn't
Know themselves as well as others did

So I kept scraping and scrounging for anything
I could find
As the author and victim
Of my own mind
Of my mind
