going out of my mind

"in my dreams i'm dying all the time

as i wake its kaleidoscopic mind

i never meant to hurt you

i never meant to lie

so this is goodbye

tell the truth you never wanted me

tell me

in my dreams i'm jealous all the time

as i wake i'm going out of my mind

going out of my mind."
