If you try to measure time It’s gone before a twinkle of an eye Burns out like a candle Blacks out like the sky Can you remember all the skins that you’ve shed All the dreams stained on your bed Words that your feel Feelings that you’ve said Think of all the things we break The gifts that you might take You embrace the silence of the night until you try To fill it up with silence In your head In your head In your head In your head In your head In your head
Do you invent your history Are you brave enough to steal a memory Can you get a failure to think that you are free Can you remember all the times you tried to teach The arms you tried to reach I still don’t know the difference between what we accept or believe Think of all the times you’ve lied Places that you’ve tried Do you think that in your heart that it’s all true Just not fair In your mind In your mind In your mind In your mind In your mind In your mind
Fallen like a soldier Risen as a saint Do you think that you are graceful You really jumped the gun You think that you’re the one Are you hopeful you can leave a trace of yourself When you’re dead When you’re dead When you’re dead When you’re dead When you’re dead In your head I say I, I say In your head
