In my head Lyrics

I am not a rock and I am not an island
But how often I've wished I could be
For it is my thoughts, and my words, and my deeds
That have brought about this tragedy

Cleanse me and purge me of myself
Cast these homespun chains away
Strip me of this excess baggage
That I've picked up along the way

All those words remain . . . in my head
And all those wounds you wear . . . are in my heart
All those words remain . . . in my head
And all those scars you share . . . are tearing me apart

I have begun to grasp and come to terms
With all of the things I've done to myself
But all the things that I said to you
Are altogether something else

For every evil expression envelopes and echoes
The good words I should have said instead
And those who think that silence is golden
Have never spent an hour in my head

Some things your eyes should not see
Some things your ears should never have heard
Some things my mind should not have thought
My mouth should not have spoken those words
