A New Brain

(album: Canon Eyes - 2019)

After the windstorm, after the dream
Stuck back in Kansas, she wants to scream
They say she's crazy, and maybe they're right
Far worse than lions and bears, she's cursed with visions at night

They tell her you've got a destiny, somebody you're supposed to be
Far from this small town there's answers waiting to be found
So she lies awake thinking there's been some mistake
Crying her eyes out, begging for help, she's shouting

I want a new brain, I want a new heart
I'm sick of feeling, failing, and falling apart
I want the courage to make a new start
Time after time I flip from fine to failing and falling apart

(Woah) I want a new brain
(Woah) I want a new heart
(Woah) I want the courage
Time after time I flip from fine to failing and falling apart

Time marches onward, cruel as can be
Stuck in the real world, nothing comes free
Sick of the questions, sick of the fight
She tries to smile and pretend, denies the voices at night

They tell her you've got a destiny, somebody you're supposed to be
Far from this small town there's answers waiting to be found
So she lies awake thinking there's been some mistake
Crying her eyes out, begging for help, she's shouting

I want a new brain, I want a new heart
I'm sick of feeling, failing, and falling apart
I want the courage to make a new start
Time after time I flip from fine to failing and falling apart

(Woah) I want a new brain
(Woah) I want a new heart
(Woah) I want the courage
Time after time I flip from fine to failing and falling apart

Oh no she's never sure, is it Kansas forevermore?
Oh no she's never sure, is it Kansas forevermore?
Trapped in a metaphor, is it Kansas forevermore?
Oh no she's never sure, is it Kansas forevermore?

I want a new brain, I want a new heart
I'm sick of feeling, failing, and falling apart
I want the courage to make a new start
Time after time I flip from fine to failing and falling

(Woah) I want a new brain
(Woah) I want a new heart
(Woah) I want the courage
Time after time I flip from fine to failing and falling apart
