titus andronicus - i lost my mind (+@) lyrics

i don’t mind when i lose my mind
yeah, i lost my mind, seven eight or nine times
and you wouldn’t mind if you lost your mind
having lost your mind already eight or nine times
i don’t mind, no it feels just fine
no it feels just fine when i lose my mind
and it looks so nice when it’s flying right by
now i don’t mind when i lose my mind
my whole life i’ve been losing my mind

it was 1989 when i lost my mind
for the very first time i went down in the mine
going down in the mine i didn’t know what i’d find
but whatever i’d find, say that it was mine
and i brought a little bird, it was short lived
and i lost my mind when the little bird died
because as i stopped to cry for the little bird’s life
for the moment my mind was out of my sight
and i turned back around to a terrible surprise
i had lost my mind for the very first time
i lost my mind for the very first time

since i was a child, they tried to let me slide
then i lost it twice, they said it was a crime
and my hands were tied, i was read my rights
it was a real short list written in little, tiny type
and they built their perfect prison and locked me inside
i cried, “this is so wrong,” they said “it’s alright”
and then a plate full of pills, i swallowed them dry
i was displayed in a cage, they claimed, in the name of science
and they probed, prodded, realigned my spine
’til they said i could walk in a straight enough line
and then they pushed me back out into the bright sunlight
i didn’t know what it meant to be inst-tutionalised
yeah i begged for readmission, it was denied
where do you reside when you’ve lost your mind?
where you gonna hide when you lose your mind?

so i went back to where i had last seen my mind
he was sitting right there with his eyes real wide
and looking into mine said “i apologise
but being confined is something i cannot abide
but if you’ll take me back we’ll give it one more try”
then we hugged, high-fived and stayed up all night
in the light i realised they were all just lies
he had robbed me blind and hadn’t said goodbye
i was too desirous, so unwise
i got excited and i lost my mind
why, oh why, must i lose my mind?

since then it’s been a struggle just to stay alive
suicide seems superior than trying to survive
that’s why when i’m in yr sight, there’ll be no sign of a smile
but the sound of a sigh i am happy to provide
lastly, never ask me, “can i know yr mind?”
no, my mind is too wild, it’s the wandering kind
and i never know when it might be likely to arrive
so i don’t mind when i lose my mind
no, i don’t mind when i lose my mind
no, i don’t mind when i lose my mind
