Mind Travel

(album: Strays II - 2023)

Sex sells, but poetry kills
Rainbeault was a slut
Verlain was on pills
And I don't know, which one I am
I've been with a woman, and I've been a man

In all of my lives, I learned foreign tongue
But I don't even know the first place I'm from
I fight with my twin and I talk in my sleep
It's not a secret till you told 'em to keep on

Traveling in my mind
Leaving myself behind
I'm not going nowhere
I'm just traveling in my mind

I followed the crumbs, got lost on the path
The stars were equations, but I can't do math
So I dug in the earth, I planted a seed
I sat for a while till I was a tree

I opened my heart and went down in the hole
They say isolation is good for the soul
You spend all your days just trying to escape
But everyone dies alone anyway
Uh-uh

Traveling in my mind
Leaving myself behind
I'm not going nowhere
I'm just traveling in my mind

Traveling in my mind
Leaving myself behind
I'm not going nowhere
I'm just traveling in my mind
