If I Could Leave My Brain

(verse One)
Somber thoughts
Don't leave me lone
What's a house
That ain't a home
I always feel
Hollow inside
I know I'm just
Here for the ride

(Pre Chorus)
Tainted possibilities
Many responsibilities
All these moments lost on me
It's on these nights I want to scream

(Chorus)
If I could
Leave my brain
For seconds
Or maybe for a day
I could find
Some peace of mind
Thoughts that I could
Leave behind
If I could
Leave this world
I'd dress my corpse
In jewels and pearls
I'd say goodbye
A bon voyage
I'm leaving you
My life's collage

(Verse Two)
Racing thoughts
Are all I know
They do their damage
Sticks and stones
I'm so tired
I need to sleep
I toss and turn and
I forget to eat

(Pre Chorus)
Tainted possibilities
Many responsibilities
All these moments lost on me
It's on these nights I want to scream

(Chorus)
If I could
Leave my brain
For seconds
Or maybe for a day
I could find
Some peace of mind
Thoughts that I could
Leave behind
If I could
Leave this world
I'd dress my corpse
In jewels and pearls
I'd say goodbye
A bon voyage
I'm leaving you
My life's collage

(Bridge)
My legacy
Is intimate
Me and happy
They do not fit
If you'd forget me
I'm not surprised
There's grey that lies in
My lifeless eyes

(Pre Chorus)
Tainted view of reality
Many responsibilities
All the hope is lost on me
It's on these nights that I can scream

(Chorus)
If I could
Leave my brain
For seconds
Or maybe for a day
I could find
Some peace of mind
Thoughts that I could
Leave behind
If I could
Leave this world
I'd dress my corpse
In jewels and pearls
I'd say goodbye
A bon voyage
I'm leaving you
My life's collage
