lyrics

Once knew a girl, did dealings with the devil,
Held the sky in her eyes.
From her head, like chocolate, smooth and dark.

Devil kissed her lips,
Left his imprint
Forever soft and red, forever in my head, leaving these voices recounting words I've never said.

Try to speak from lifeless lungs, the space in my mouth is filled,
Filled to the brim with bricks.
Look over and see her smile,
A subtle smile that sinks into my heart and skin
'Cause,

She was the girl on my mind,
She was the girl on my mind,
She was the girl on my mind,
She was the girl on my mind.

Climbing up on ladders, only to go back down on a slide,
And she's not there to catch me.
Contemplating these matters, am I committing suicide,
Or will she be there to stop me? No.

She was the girl on my mind,
She was the girl on my mind,
She was the girl on my mind,
She was the girl on my mind.

Eyes like an owl:
Searching for answers.
Feeling small, like a child playing with matches:
Will I light the spark, or will I burn it down?

I'm getting nightmares in the day,
And I'm daydreaming at night.
Will I get my way?
Will I hold her, will I love her, will I be in her life?

She was the girl on my mind,
She was the girl on my mind,
She was the girl on my mind,
She was the girl on my mind, mind, mind, mind, mind.
She was the girl on my mind,
She was the girl on my mind,
You were the girl on my mind,
I think I've lost my mind.
