Soundbytes - My Mind Is Out To Get Me

My Mind Is Out To Get Me Words and Music by Margie Adam
	I think it's well worth noting When people shoot themselves They put a pistol to their heads Not a pistol to their hearts That people blow their brains out Makes sense I must confide It's my mind that's out to get me It's my heart that's on my side. My mind does tend to wander To seek the darkened room A favorite pastime seems to be The nurturing of gloom Let's fondle each old failure Let's ponder loves that died It's my mind that's out to get me It's my heart that's on my side. You know I've just been thinking About my state of mind Incessant buzz of judgment Just dogs me all the time And now I see more clearly I cannot win this game As long as I am in the ring I'll lose and lose again But... I think I've found the answer I think I've found the clue My mind is not so tightly wrapped Sweet reason can't shine through I'll liberate the future By putting past aside It's my mind that's out to get me It's my heart that's on my mind that's out to get me It's my heart that's on my side
