Tell me do you feel?
I am real
Do you seem satisfied within yourself?
Still wish sometimes in my life where I have to go to extremes
I didn't know what to do
I couldn't see the beautiful world
That was in front of you
And I was back and forth forgiveness, but I couldn't forgive myself
And I was screaming out for help

It was murder to the mind
It was blood on my hands
Fire in my soul
It was murder to the mind
It was blood on my hands
Fire in my soul
It was murder to the mind
It was blood on my hands
Fire in my soul

So tell me where the time go
And where it stops nobody really knows
And I throw my hands up, I surrender to the night
Kissed the boy away, I know I never wanna see your face again
But I was thinking about, thinking about, thinking about a dude that's
Trying to find myself I emerge from up all this
Six months gone I don't know where the time has gone
But I tell my mother, do you think she'll be proud?
I tell my father put two feet on the ground
'Cause I was only screaming out for help

It was murder to the mind
It was blood on my hands
Fire in my soul
It was murder to the mind
It was blood on my hands
Fire in my soul
It was murder to the mind
It was blood on my hands
Fire in my soul

Murder to the mind
Blood on my hands
Fire in my soul
It was murder to the mind
Fire in my soul
