rehearsed all my alibis
closer than my vital signs
a flower left to defend
oh, it won't come again
first my heart, then my head
can't hear the words that have been said
can't feel those eyes meeting mine
lost the vision, flying blind
wish i could say to my enemy,
"if you won't stop to believe in me
at least know that you are always mine
'cuz I still feel you from this side of my mind"
mind
(all i need) is all i see
behind this pane of modesty
instinct gifts the perfect crime
but i regret it's no longer mine
dig a grave to find a way
to cling to life, lengthen the day
automatic to the bone
with no home left to phone
wish i could say to my enemy,
"if you can't stop to believe in me
at least know that you're always mine
'cuz I still feel you from this side of my mind"
mind, mind, mind, mind
