This is what I'm trying to do. Inspired after a conversation with a friend. [bodytext] => Through the haze of all condemning thoughts, everything becomes clear
Positive self, so long padlocked in the casket of doubt
Opens the lid and crawls out, to look upon the new world
Realising the prison never really had a key to seal

The mind tricks, invites us to swim in warm waters of fear and apprehension
Where we linger and wallow, bathing in the negative
Too easy to submerge into the abyss of cloaked judgement
And be drowned by misgivings that pull us down

Accustomed eyes choose distorted images that shadow out the truth
Habitual thinking courses through regret silted veins
Hostile perception afflicts, gnawing like established disease
Rotting all the open wounds, eating away reason

Wide awake now, startled into positive by long silenced voice
Re-appointed Governor shouts the call and takes the reins
Forget mistaken yesterdays, we never will reclaim
Tomorrow is a starting out, Renaissance of the mind.

Through the haze of all condemning thoughts, everything becomes clear
Positive self, so long padlocked in the casket of doubt
Opens the lid and crawls out, to look upon the new world
Realising the prison never really had a key to seal

The mind tricks, invites us to swim in warm waters of fear and apprehension
Where we linger and wallow, bathing in the negative
Too easy to submerge into the abyss of cloaked judgement
And be drowned by misgivings that pull us down

Accustomed eyes choose distorted images that shadow out the truth
Habitual thinking courses through regret silted veins
Hostile perception afflicts, gnawing like established disease
Rotting all the open wounds, eating away reason

Wide awake now, startled into positive by long silenced voice
Re-appointed Governor shouts the call and takes the reins
Forget mistaken yesterdays, we never will reclaim
Tomorrow is a starting out, Renaissance of the mind.
