Clear My Head

(album: Love, Death, Etc. - 2021)

Out for a walk in the cooler air
The wind combs sideways through my hair
I gotta clear my head
I gotta clear my head

Got a mind like a janky old cassette
Same thoughts keep looping over again
I gotta clear my head
I gotta clear my head

All the things that I wish I didn't say
I'ma put 'em in a pile
Throw 'em out on garbage day
A little soap and water does a wonder for regret
Maybe by tomorrow I won't even notice it

I gotta clear my head
I gotta clear my head
I gotta clear my head
I gotta clear my head

Me and the odds, they don't get along
I'm so good at imagining what could go wrong
I gotta clear my head
I gotta clear my head

For the nights that I lie in bed awake
When the cortisol convinces me I've made a grave mistake
Reach around the back
Unplug the wires from the screen
Isn't that the way to restart any good machine?

I gotta clear my head
I gotta clear my head
I gotta clear my head
I gotta clear my head

I'm tired of worrying
Tired of hurrying around
Chasing something that I can't name
What a damn shame
My operating system really needs an upgrade

Upgrade
Upgrade me

I gotta clear my head
I gotta clear my head
I gotta clear my head
I gotta clear my head
