Welcome everyone into my world, welcome to my mind
Grab a shady spot, pull up a chair, and please beware of what you might find.
I apologize if it’s a mess, there’s so much less of what should be.
But I promise that everything that you will see is so uniquely me…
Don’t you tell me you know exactly what I’m thinking
cause most of the time I don’t.
And if you think you know me well I’d like to point out
that that means you probably wont.
Everything you expect will disappear. You might find anything.
There’s everything and nothing here.
There’s a lot of stuff I can’t explain, though it makes sense to me.
My head’s full of loopy reasoning, that’s wrapped inside a sweet simplicity.
Clear as crystal, it’s an upside down, topsy turvy land of fantasy.
But believe me that it’s this mix of outright nonsense that forms my sanity.
If my brain was a book, would you read me?
If I followed you home, would you keep me?
If you got lost in the dark, would you need me?
Or is it that I’m over-rated
Or just underestimated?
Don’t say you know exactly what I’m thinking
Assumptions will just slow you down.
And if you think you’re close to me I’d like to ask you
What is it that you think you’ve found.
Everything you expect will disappear. You might find anything.
There’s everything and nothing here.
