Inside Of My Head Lyrics - David Wilcox

from What You Whispered 

.............................................. 

I got such a mess between my ears 

like dishes in the sink 

Stuff I don't believe just tumbles in 

until I don't have room to think 

These dark clouds I've stowed away 

just in case of a sunny day 

So I can stand in the pouring rain 

of every tear I've ever shed 

I've got to empty out the inside of my head 

This could be a room with such a view, 

but its covered up with junk 

Blocking off the place the light gets through 

so it keeps me in this funk 

All my failures are on display, 

the broken dreams of yesterday 

Stuff I should have thrown away, 

but I've kept it here instead 

I've got to empty out the inside of my head 

I've got to empty out the inside of my head 

I'd like to turn this place into my home 

instead of someplace that I dread 

Its the only place thats mine alone, 

and I'll live here 'til I'm dead 

I'll sort through what I have found, 

the stuff that works I'll keep around 

But I can't live weighted down 

with every cruel word they said 

I've got to empty out the inside of my head 

I've got to empty out the inside of my head 

I've got to empty out the inside of my head 

etc
