Shapes In My Mind
Keith Relf Lyrics

Shapes in my mind, my eyes are closed
The vivid ideas and images in my imagination fill my mind, temporarily blocking my sense of sight.

The colours cry, my brain explodes
The intense and overwhelming emotions triggered by these shapes and figures generate a reaction in my brain that causes an outburst of colors and sensations.

My body shrinks into my head
The sense of awareness of my physical self slowly fades away as I dive deeper into this mental world.

I must have help or I'll be dead
Without someone to guide me out of this state, I fear that I may be stuck within my own mind forever.

You've got to make me break this spell
I implore you to use your power to disrupt the enchantment that has captured my thoughts and senses.

You've got to give me all your help
I need you to offer me all the assistance you can muster to rescue me from this mental trap.

You've got to stop my spinning brain
I beg of you to intervene in the rotation of ideas and feelings that is causing me to spiral out of control.

You've got to be with me again
My only hope is that with your presence and support, we can overcome this mental obstacle together.

I see your face, I see your smile
Even in my mental state, my thoughts are fixated on the image of your face and the expression of joy in your smile.

I see the eyes that used to cry
I also see the sadness and tears that were once present in your eyes.

I see the lips I used to kiss
My mind conjures memories of the times when we shared intimate moments of kissing.

I can't forget
These memories are so deeply ingrained in my psyche that I cannot erase or escape them.

I see you standing all alone
I also recall the times when I felt like I left you to fend for yourself in solitude.

I see the things that I did wrong
I am reminded of the actions and decisions I made that may have hurt you and caused our separation.

I see I didn't try enough
I recognize that I did not put forth the amount of effort necessary to maintain our relationship.

To give you love
I failed to demonstrate my affection and appreciation for you in a meaningful way.

The love you gave and left behind
I acknowledge the love that you bestowed upon me in the past, which I have now lost or misplaced.

Has dropped and burned inside my mind
The pain of losing that love has caused a traumatic effect in my memory and thoughts.

I can't see out, I can't see in
I feel blind and trapped, unable to see beyond my own thoughts, but also unable to introspect and understand myself.

I know I'm lost, I can't explain
I have a sense of being lost and confused, but I am unable to articulate or comprehend exactly why.
