David Wilcox – Inside Of My Head

from What You Whispered

……………………………………….

I got such a mess between my ears

like dishes in the sink

Stuff I don’t believe just tumbles in

until I don’t have room to think

These dark clouds I’ve stowed away

just in case of a sunny day

So I can stand in the pouring rain

of every tear I’ve ever shed

I’ve got to empty out the inside of my head

This could be a room with such a view,

but its covered up with junk

Blocking off the place the light gets through

so it keeps me in this funk

All my failures are on display,

the broken dreams of yesterday

Stuff I should have thrown away,

but I’ve kept it here instead

I’ve got to empty out the inside of my head

I’ve got to empty out the inside of my head

I’d like to turn this place into my home

instead of someplace that I dread

Its the only place thats mine alone,

and I’ll live here ’til I’m dead

I’ll sort through what I have found,

the stuff that works I’ll keep around

But I can’t live weighted down

with every cruel word they said

I’ve got to empty out the inside of my head

I’ve got to empty out the inside of my head

I’ve got to empty out the inside of my head

etc
