"Mind Travel" lyrics

"Mind Travel"

Sex sells, but poetry kills
Rimbaud was a slut
Verlaine was on pills
And I don't know
Which one I am
I've been with a woman
And I've been a man
In all of my lives, I learned foreign tongue
But I don't even know the first place I'm from
I fight with my twin and I talk in my sleep
It's not a secret 'til you told her to keep, uh-huh

Traveling in my mind (My mind)
I'm leaving myself behind (My mind)
I'm not going nowhere
I'm just traveling in my mind

I followed the crumbs
Got lost on the path
The stars were equations
But I can't do math
So I dug in the earth
I planted a seed
I sat for a while, 'til I was a tree
I opened my heart and went down in the hole
They say isolation is good for the soul
You spend all your day trying to escape
But everyone dies alone anyway, uh-huh

Traveling in my mind (My mind)
I'm leaving myself behind (My mind)
I'm not going nowhere
I'm just traveling in my mind
Traveling in my mind (My mind)
I'm leaving myself behind (My mind)
I'm not going nowhere
I'm just traveling in my mind
