[Verse 1]
I wake up with a line on my hand
Like a sketch from a place I don’t understand
New idea, new face, new door, new frame
I draw what I see, then I call it by name
But my mind get loud, start building the scene
Putting shadows on things that aren’t on me
Fake rooms, fake signs, fake hands on my chest
Still I breathe through it, still I do my best
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, I know
Not every thought is true
I let it pass through
Then I choose what’s real with you
[Chorus]
In my mind, in my mind
I make the storm and I make the sign
In my mind, in my mind
I find my way and I draw the line
For my family, for my family
That’s the love that keeps me coming back
In my mind, in my mind
I turn the fear into a sketch, not fact
[Verse 2]
I see my mother at the dinner table
My father’s laugh, my sister’s able
To pull me back when I drift too far
When I’m lost in a room that ain’t who we are
I used to fold up under the weight
Of a thought that came in dressed as fate
Now I name it, then I let it go
I got love in my hands, and I let that show
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, I know
The fear can wear a crown
But when I look around
My people pull me down to ground
[Chorus]
In my mind, in my mind
I make the storm and I make the sign
In my mind, in my mind
I find my way and I draw the line
For my family, for my family
That’s the love that keeps me coming back
In my mind, in my mind
I turn the fear into a sketch, not fact
[Bridge]
If the dark starts talking, I answer back
With a pencil mark on a paper stack
What I fear ain’t a cage for me
When I remember who I’m meant to be
[Final Chorus]
In my mind, in my mind
I make the storm and I make the sign
In my mind, in my mind
I find my way and I draw the line
For my family, for my family
That’s the love that keeps me coming back
In my mind, in my mind
I turn the fear into a sketch, not fact
