Renting Space In My Mind

I’ve got things renting space in my mind
Things I just can’t seem to, leave behind
Some are regrets, and some are things I’ve seen
Mostly they’re memories, and violent dreams

How long will these things, hold me back
How long ‘til I am, back on track
I lie everyday and say that I’m fine
With these things, renting space in my mind

When the sun comes up, I put on another face
I man up, and I fall right into place
But late at night, when things are quiet and still
That’s when the fog comes in, and I begin to feel

Cause I’ve got things renting space in my mind
Things I just can’t seem to, leave behind
There’s only a few who will, ever know
What it feels like, once the seeds are sown

I look at my son, safe and, sound asleep
I pray the Lord his soul to, always keep
And dear Lord can You, help me to find
A reprieve, from these things
These things
Renting space in my mind
