You Lost Your Mind Today
I watched you lose your mind today
I watched it slip away
Out of the gleaming light
Into the murky gray
I wonder if it’s painful
Sitting in the dark
If the pounding in your head
Matches the pounding of your heart
Will I ever see again
The girl I loved so well
Who whispered in the quiet
Her dreams before she fell
Into this state of madness
Into this state of lies
No one is out to get you
All who care for you aren’t spies
We wade into the water
Wishing not to let you drown
Fearing we may be lost with you
Pulled and shackled to the ground
I watched you lose your mind today
I watched you lose it all
Trying so hard just to catch you
Trying not to let you fall
