World Inside My Head

Sister Hazel · Before The Amplifier-Live Acoustic [2008]

On the road to safe, I kinda tripped along the way

It just seemed like a nasty hassle

The path was greener on the one less traveled

And that's where I've remained



People so high, they think I can't hear their whispers

I can see it falling off their face

Trying to shoot down my plane of grace

Seems like it's already hard enough



But the paint on me is beginning to dry

And it's not what I want it to be

The weight on me is hanging on to a weary angel



Tell me what it is about me

Where did everybody go without me?

So I like to fantasize

And watch the sun rise like it's a big surprise

Life moved and I stopped to taste it

I drank it up 'till it left me wasted

But my rains have bled a softer red

Oh, you should see the world inside my head



You can shackle me away and try to wrap around my dreamer

I feel better when I paint my days with purple seams and left-out grays

Strange is just a different point of view



But the paint on me is starting to dry

And it's not what I want it to be

The weight on me is holding on to a weary angel



So tell me what it is about me

Where did everybody go without me?

So I like to fantasize

And watch the sun rise like it's a big surprise

Life moved and I stopped to taste it

I drank it up 'till it left me wasted

But my rains have bled a softer red

Oh, you should see the world inside my head



I feel better when I paint my days with purple seams and left-out grays

Strange is just a different point of view



But the paint on me is beginning to dry

And it's not what I want it to be

So wait on me, wait on me...



Tell me what it is about me

Where did everybody go without me?

So I like to fantasize

And watch the sun rise like it's a big surprise

Life moved and I stopped to taste it

I drank it up 'till it left me wasted

But my rains have bled a softer red

Oh, you should see the world inside my head
