Lyrics:
When we got to the place
Where we scattered that ash
And the water turned black
And my heart was all glass
And the fields were brown
And I felt like that––
No color to my name
All sour in my brain

I said I don’t care
If you’re even there
'Cause you can’t dig me from this pit I’m in
And your hazard lights
Shone like satelites
And I spat out the words, saying "I don’t need you"

I wasn’t in my right mind

I’ve been walking around
In this wooden mask
Where I never look back
Wrap your head around that
But to tell you the truth
Think I’ve got it bad
I wanna shake myself crying "why’d I leave you"

I wasn’t in my right mind

Fuck was I doing
Fuck was i thinking
Why do I ruin everything precious I’m given
I know it’s too late now
And I should keep moving
But I can’t fall asleep 'cause I still need you

I wasn’t in my right mind

How could I be so blind?
I wasn't in my right mind
And I was wrong
Thought I could make it on my own
But I was so blind
I wasn't in my right mind

I was wrong
I thought leaving would make me strong
But I was so blind
I wasn't in my right mind
Now you're gone
I can't make it on my own
Will you please come home
'Cause I wasn't in my right mind

Right Mind.
