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
