The Helsinki Song

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

It's already three in the afternoon
And under these covers, I feel consumed
And then I walk around, livin' in no sound, snow falls
On my cheek
Hides the redness underneath

And then I say one, two, three
Just breathe
I say one, two, three

I'm in the city these days
And now I've 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
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
(breathe no longer, breathe no longer)
They told me shadows are the new nirvana
Once again, on spineless words, I ponder
And now I 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 the light
Gotta open my eyes
Cause I'm starting to lose
My mind, my mind, my mind
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!

(What they want
Lost and start
My mind, my mind, my mind
My mind, my mind, my mind)
