I know how it feels 
to be intoxicated in a land of water 
Where time and space can't heal 
my bitter thoughts that lead 
 
its all in the back of my mind 
these dark thoughts i find 
if i can learn to forget that pain 
so i can have that peace of mind 
 
a world of ignorance seems fair 
because your darkness is your shadow 
left behind you without a care 
if i can learn to forget the pain 
by walking forward, yes, the rough miles 
there is much gold that can still be gained 
 
its all in the back of my mind 
these dark thoughts i find 
if i can learn to forget that pain 
so i can have that peace of mind
