Out My Mind

“I was on the cusp too. Til God pulled me off of the edge and said, ‘Not you. I could use you.’ ”

 Lyrics

[Chorus]

Well I thought about it and I figured out
That time keeps moving without me
Yeah I thought about it and I figured out
And what I figured out is…
I got tired of living in doubt
No, I don’t wanna be the one without you
So I thought about it and I figured out
And what I figured out is…
I’m out my mind.
Out my mind, just in time
Just in time…
I’m moving like a stone cold river in the afternoon, oh!
Moving like a stone cold river in the afternoon…

[Verse]

That means I just have to flow
To many moments I’ve waited basking in the afterglow
Of adolescence where it meets the presence
It’s natural, I know
To grow up and throw up your hands
Get drunk while we dance and smoke…
It’s just smoke and mirrors
I was on the cusp too
‘Til God pulled me off of the edge and said,
“Not you. I could use you.
I know you let people abuse you.
I know you held on to friends who weren’t really your friends
You couldn’t stand the chance of being alone
But I was right there
Giving you peace after every nightmare
Giving you joy after every heartbreak
Bet on me, not them, I’m higher stake
Which means it costs more to win heaven
Which means that sacrifice is inevitable
Like a fork in the road and everybody you know chose to go the other path
I’m separating you.
This break is preparation for maturation in me
Yes, the application of faith requires the un-complication of things
Including friends; you used to fit in
But now you don’t feel it
That’s a sign.
Get out of your mind,
And into the spirit.”
