Blue skies
Teary eyes
Im tired of these lies
My eyes dry
But I keep to lie
It's for their best I think
Oh but if they knew I was on the brink-
Of dying
Not from crying
Not from lying
But from my own mind
My mind is why
Why I cry
Why I lie
Why I want to die
I will never say
Not today
Because they would never sha-
Ke it off.
My darkest hour
Or in the shower
Or just lying in wait
That's when my mind wanders
To the things that I ponder
Those deep dark things
That I hear spring up so deep in my mind
Then I listen
I don't hear
I listen
To the lyrics
And find
My purpose
The number twenty-five
Is the reason I'm alive
The reason I do try
To keep my mind
And to try not to cry
To try not to die
Or try not to lie
You won't understand
And If you did it'd be bland
But my mind would take a stand
And I would find the promise land
And if you did
It'd lose its purpose
It took me time
To learn this
That the number twenty-five
And the music is why I
Do try to keep my mind
Again you won't understand
And if you found the surface
Of my small purpose
It'd lose the reason I learned this
To stay alive and to try
(mine)
