Exit My Mind
Escaping Thoughts: Lily Harden's Pursuit of Inner Peace
Lyrics
I took a long drive
I embarked on an extended drive.
Hoping you'd exit my mind
Anticipating that you would no longer occupy my thoughts.
And I'd have the chance to feel fine
Hoping for an opportunity to experience contentment.
I wake from my sleep
I awaken from sleep.
Smothered in yesterdays grief
Feeling overwhelmed by the sorrows of yesterday.
I'd say my room should be cleaned
Expressing the need to tidy up my room.
It's covered in you
My surroundings are filled with reminders of you.
All of my problems
All my challenges are connected to you.
They all revolve around you
Highlighting the central role you play in my issues.
I try to shake it
Attempting to shake off these thoughts.
But I gotta face it, It's you
Facing the reality that you are the source of my troubles.
Every waking thought
Every conscious moment is consumed by thoughts of you.
Is training me to be the kind of
Implying a transformation to meet your perceived expectations.
Girl of think you'd want
Aspiring to be the type of person you desire.
I shape shift endlessly everyday
Constantly adapting and changing to fit different expectations.
I try a new face on
Experimenting with different personas.
But you'll still be gone
Despite the changes, you are still absent.
I'm covered in you
I am surrounded by reminders of you.
All of my problems
Reiterating that my challenges are centered around you.
They all revolve around you
Struggling to escape the influence of your presence.
I try drowning you out
Attempting to drown out thoughts of you.
But you just keep swimming on through
Your presence persists despite my efforts to ignore it.
So I'll take a long drive
Repeating the desire for a lengthy drive to clear my mind.
Hoping you'll exit my mind
Hoping that, through the drive, thoughts of you will dissipate.
And I'll get a chance to feel fine
Aiming for an opportunity to feel emotionally well.
