Side one, track one

lyrics

I Don’t Have Time (Perrin)
We're running out of time
If you had any idea what was on my mind
It would scare you half to death
It would take away you your breath
You have no idea what it’s like to live every day like a wounded animal
To have to punch through every wall just to show the world you’re not programmable

And I can’t control my mind; I don’t have time

Your dreams were never mine
And I don’t believe our thoughts aligned
I don’t care if it sounds unkind
But you made me feel confined
I have no idea what I need but I know that I don’t need your assistance
All the therapy made it worse it just made me put up more resistance

And I can’t control my mind; I don’t have time

Too long in anonymity
Means I can't go quietly
And I hope you finally see
That the man you know's not me
I told myself I could stay away but I knew inside I never could
I've been lying to myself for years but it's never done me any good

And I can’t control my mind; I don’t have time
