Trying No To Think About It

Southern California is bad for the soul



And New York City takes its toll



The Mississippi River has a mean undertow



How can I shield myself from the things that I hear



I want to close my eyes and sleep for a year



Tell me that it's only a dream



That it's a nightmare



Trying not to think about it



Trying not to think about it



How can your mother be so strong



When her only baby is gone



I don't know where you are



Everything is wrong



So I'm trying not to think about it
