MIND RACER

( "this is for all the mind racers out there!")

My thoughts take off before my feet touch ground,

They pull me into places not yet found,

I try to speak but lose it on the way,

Like distant echoes fading as they stray.

I’m in a room but not really there,

I walk new streets and hear voices somewhere,

A talk begins then slowly falls apart,

‘Cause I drift off again inside my heart.

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m a Mind Racer, thoughts don’t stay still,

They run through the noise with a mind of their will,

It’s hard to focus, hard to keep pace,

Living each day in a fast-moving race.

It’s hard to focus when my mind starts fast,

It jumps around, no moment ever lasts,

I lose my thoughts on roads I never made,

Then chase a different path that pulls away.

I don’t need pills to slow what’s in my head,

There’s beauty in the mess, like I have said,

I’ve seen some places I can’t quite explain,

Met people I may never see again.9

(Pre chorus)

I don’t fit in what they call the same frame,

I move to a rhythm that’s not quite the same,

If you feel this, you’re not out of place,

You’re a Mind Racer too in this same race.

I drift between the noise and quiet space,

Still learning how to slow my inner pace,

It’s not that easy staying in one place,

But I’m learning how to live in the human race.

(Bridge)

If your thoughts run faster than your pace,

Like you live in ten worlds in one space,

You’re not broken, just wired your own way,

You’re a Mind Racer too, even today.

You don’t have to hide or fake a smile,

There’s more of us been feeling this a while,

Yeah we drift and we don’t stay in place,

But there’s beauty in the thoughts we face.

(Chorus)

I’m a Mind Racer, my thoughts never stay still,

Running through the noise with a mind of their will,

It’s hard to focus, hard to keep pace,

Living every day in a Mind Racer’s race.

A Mind Racer doesn’t fit the same frame,

Moves to a rhythm that’s just not the same,

If you feel this, you’re not out of place,

You’re a Mind Racer too in this same race.

A Mind Racer doesn’t fit the same frame,

Moves to a rhythm that’s just not the same,

If you feel this, you’re not out of place,

You’re a Mind Racer too in this same race.
