(living in a) borrowed mind

There was a time to come
I met a man running from himself.
And as he ran to who-knows-where
I had a mind to meet him there.

Looking back to where i'd been
I thought i'd seen myself with me.

Waiting for a time gone by
I look ahead and recognize myself.
I am my fathers' fathers' son,
But he is even farther from himself.

Losing my identity,
Finding my insanity,
Now i realize i'm someone'else.

(lst ch.) living - in a borrowed mind....
You are not yourself,
You are someone else,
A new lease of life.

(2nd ch.) living - in a borrowed mind....
I am not myself,
I am someone else,
A new "piece" of mind.

All at once and not at all
So many different voices calling me.
A million sounds i do not hear
Straight away i clearly see.

I hear a voice inside me say
"hi, and how am i today!?"
Think i'll blow my mind and set me free.

All at once and not at all,
So many voices calling me.

A million sounds i do not hear,
Straight away i clearly see.
I hear a voice inside me say
I think i'll blow my mind away.....
My mind away ........
