Lost In My Mind

from Ghosts of Myself by Thomas Rakowitz

/

about

This is a track dating back as far as 2007 or 2008, and was one of my first ideas for a song. The intro riff in particular is something I came up with very early in my guitar playing, and may have been a good foreshadowing of my writing style later on. This is one of the darker tracks on this EP, and something I felt would "weigh down" the full release. I hope you'll enjoy this exorcism.

lyrics

Another night I've lost, the attraction's cost
Game's I've never played, In mazes I never made
Looks used to deceive, Frail masks to believe
White lies to repeat, a package wrapped so neat

They say I'm alive, and I will survive
Misheard what they said, feels like I'm better off dead
Inside comatose, cured by the right dose
Urge to feel something, but numb the hurting

Chorus-
Lost inside my mind
I try to seek and find
Reaching for a sign
I'll be fine
Feeling it converge
Imitations emerge
I want to save myself this curse

This medicated high, just time that I buy
It's just got to give, remedy to live
This purgatory creeps, while the poison seeps
Keeping it inside, countless times I've lied

Take all that I own, persuasion sown
Promise me heaven, norepenephrine
The chemicals stop, with hope's last little drop
The walls never cease, to trap me and peace

Chorus
