lyrics

Oh, my friend, I see you got yourself in a state
you're in a bind you got your tongue twisted in your teeth
yes I see you id like to offer you a hand but I don't know if you'll retreat
and oh dear father bless you in your ways
you are sick man everyone knows its on display
but the world is not as simple as make it in your mind so please come over to the light

I don't know I don't know I don't know how to help you find
I don't know I don't know how to help you get yourself a clean and quiet mind

Well I see your ship is sinking you're fighting for your life
but you're struggling just trying to get yourself by
and as you breathe you are burdened I see ur weighted sighs an exaltation of what your feeling day and night

I don't know I don't know I don't know how to help you find
I don't know I don't know how to help you get yourself a clean and quiet mind

And yes I know your suffering I know it far too well 10 years you've resided in your self-imprisoned cell but to the ways which you abandoned reality and faith we don't speak of that and don't relate
so come out of your hiding and sit down on the chair tell the doctor of whose who and when and where
theres a method to your madness let us crack the code and ill try to lead you back home

I don't know I don't know I don't know how to help you find
I don't know I don't know how to help you get yourself a clean and quiet mind
I don't know I don't know I don't know how to help you find
I don't know I don't know how to help you get yourself a clean and quiet mind
