The Helsinki Song

(albüm: The Second Story: Finnish Vacation - 2022)

"Don't talk too much, you're gonna cut your lip"
That's what they tell me
Cold hands, tight grip
Think I'm going crazy

It's already three in the afternoon
And under these covers, I feel consumed

But then I walk around
Living in no sound
Snow falls on my cheek
Hides the redness underneath

'N' I say one two three
Just breathe
Say one two three
(One, two, three, four)

I'm in the city these days
And now I got a role to play
Seems like everyone knows
What they want
But I feel lost
And starting to lose
My mind, my mind, my mind
Starting to lose
My mind, my mind, my mind

Now I'm caught in between
My heart and the light
Gotta open my eyes
'Cause I'm starting to lose
My mind, my mind, my mind
And what if I've lost
My mind, my mind, my mind?

Lord I sit at your alter
Teach me how to speak without falter
Or wring my neck, so I breathe no longer

They told me shadows are the new nirvana
Once again, on spineless words I pondered
Now I've lived a few years in hunger

If my voice ever sang like my bones ache
Maybe then I wouldn't feel like a
Mistaken man
Oh, I can't breathe no longer!

I'm in the city again
And now I gotta play pretend
Seems like everyone knows
What they want
But I feel
Lost and starting
To lose
My mind, my mind, my mind
Starting to lose
My mind, my mind, my mind

Now I'm caught in between
My heart and my mind
Gotta open my eyes
'Cause I'm starting to lose
My mind, my mind, my mind
And what if I've lost
My mind, my mind, my mind?

I was always told that I
Shouldn't stand too tall
But if I don't get up
I'm gonna be nobody at all

My mind, my mind, my mind
