Look at my surrounding, and I see things through distorted eyes
 
 And where I must be going is surely a place that I cannot hide
 
 And as I start my walking, I can't help but see things that I don't recognize
 
 And in this world of swerving, I must find people I know, things to do, places to go
 
 Concoctions that will make this grow
 
  
  Cause in this state of mind
 
 I can see what I can't find
 
 But my sight is quickly fading
 
 In this state of mind
  
 
 When I cannot hold you, I go off by myself and I resort
 
 But what you think I'd turn to, is nothing normal, nothing of the sort
 
 But sorrow and solitude, is not something that I am wishing for
 
 So to relinquish my mood, I set 'em up, I knock 'em down, I go out laced to paint the town
 
 But that's not what you're looking for
  
 
 Cause in this state of mind
 
 Time just seems to fly
 
 And you tell me that I'm not myself
 
 In this state of mind
  
 
 Got a feelin' I'm not worthy
 
 I'm fallin' deeper and I'm caught
 
 Cause I see the reality I can no longer get what I want
