manic mind © words by frank miller
was a journey into my mind
and i found a webbed haze
many colors not just black and white
so i wasn’t a total craze
yearly compartments categorized
films of memories, pasted
i am surprised when i realized
my sanity hasn’t been wasted
working with emotions good and bad
just trying to get by
sometimes i think i’m crazy
sometimes i think i’m a fool
i deal with all the punches thrown
because living life is so cool
sometimes i think too much
seems like that’s what goes wrong
talkin’ about the things inside me
talkin about a manic song
foreign places in my mind, thoughts undiscovered
electric impulses flashing with pride, new ideas uncovered
vast are the passages and the capacities to reason
invisible seeds planted and grown. always in season
contemplating death
just what is the end?
time lives on and on and on
life’s a temporary friend
do all you can now
this life is all you know
you won’t live life again
so spend it letting love grow
what’s on the other side
your guess is as good as mine
i do know that good will bring good
fate will catch you in time
don’t worry about what comes after
don’t worry where you will go
cause it will haunt your very soul
manic
manic
manic
feeling through confused thoughts looking for real answers
some things cannot be explained as time goes by faster
keep your wits about you let love be your master
breathe in life all the time
and the winds of change
don’t spend any of your time
sweatting all the small shit
life’s too short and if shorter
you’ll wish your anger receded
if you do not like someone
let them live in peace!
live your life
let them live theirs
so says this manic mind
i don’t know everything but i don’t need to know
i don’t need complacency i just need to grow
i search my mind every day to keep it anew
i am a manic mind but i try and think things through
and how about you?
foreign places in my mind, thoughts undiscovered
electric impulses flashing with pride, new ideas uncovered
vast are the passages and the capacities to reason
invisible seeds planted and grown always in season
thanks chris, do you mean my bass playing is getting closer to how I played back then? I really want to get those skills back! slowly but surely!
wow this is an incredible composition - yet I feel the you from years ago in this and still, yet again in places you are channeling Hendrix.
