Sound Mind (feat. Katie Burke)

Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart Lord you know I wanna do your will Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart And the peace to stand still Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart Lord you know I wanna do your will Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart And the peace to stand still So many thoughts race through my brain trying to gain The advantage & cross the finish line to reign Over my essence in this physical plane Driving me insane - straight jackets, latches, feeling deranged Lust got me burning to slay women in my bed Pornographic fantasies, fornicating in my head My adulteries breaking happy homes in divorces Death of love in my heart after it ran its courses Competing with anger, analyzing strangers To see who's a mark to receive this vicious danger Unforgiven grudges pent up since a child Combined with slights & injustice, ready to go wild But at times I'm despondent, I'm not responding I see the case built against me, I'm absconding Retreating to my cave stuck in silence it's haunting Asking for favor to clear my mind, the task is daunting Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart Lord you know I wanna do your will Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart And the peace to stand still Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart Lord you know I wanna do your will Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart And the peace to stand still I hear demons laughing in my sleep, cheering my fears When I cast them out with love, they point to lust that's near I have regrets, wishing I didn't start this Joseph Conrad couldn't narrate through this Heart of Darkness Worry, doubt, confusion, has me uninspired Imposter's syndrome got me afraid I'll be fired Visions of homelessness flood my soul, now I'm drowning In a sea of self-pity - they wonder why I'm frowning Now I'm fully submerged, baptized in this commotion Sending flares to rescue from this ocean of emotion My S.O.S. call reaches the mental health office I'm on a therapist's couch recalling losses Pouring pain in his cup, he adds advice, now a mixture Past hurts, sound words, lessons learned form the elixir Medication for inner edification divine Toasting to the future & present sound mind Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart Lord you know I wanna do your will Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart And the peace to stand still Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart Lord you know I wanna do your will Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart And the peace to stand still Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart Lord you know I wanna do your will Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart And the peace to stand still Give me a sound mind, and a clean heart Lord you know I wanna do your will Give me a sound mind, and a pure heart And the peace to stand still
