Sex and Pride

Panning for wisdom at the waters edge

Hours of sleep then hours on edge

Can’t tell your mother where you been that day
Too scared to run to your brother and say

I found some knowledge that you kept from me

Down at the river it came from the sea

I fished out wisdom that you tried to hide
Hiding me from all the sex and the pride

Can you say when it feels all wrong

Been trapped in your mind for far too long

Can you trust the voice inside
Screaming at you that your life’s a lie

Scream your name till you fly to fame

Tell those fuckers that you’re not the same

As every other man and woman you know,
Say my life, my mind, my show

Can you say when it feels all wrong
Trapped in your mind for far too long
Can you believe the voice inside
Screaming at you that life’s a lie

Can you trust in the rhythm of your heart
When it beats out of time as you play your part
Can you take what you’re told to be true
If it’s juxtaposition to you

(4 x round)

It’s mine
It’s my mind
I know me
I trust me
I know
It’s my show

(2 x round)

Panning for wisdom at the waters edge
Too much sleep and hours on edge
Can’t tell your mother where you’ve been that day
Too scared to run to your brother and say

I fished out wisdom that you tried to hide
Keeping me from all that sex and pride

Can you say when it feels all wrong
It’s my mind
Trapped in your mind for far too long

I know it’s my show
Can you believe the voice inside

Can you trust in the rhythm of your heart
When it beats out of time as you play your part

It’s mine
It’s my mind
I know me
I trust me
I know
It’s my show
