My Mind Is Kept

How do I feel about taking

My last breath?

There's nothing worth saving

When put to the test.

How do I know where I'm going

After my death?

The wind will be blowing

When I sink to the chest.

I see the rain coming o'er the hills

Did you win your bet?

I used to sing in the poppy fields.

Still my mind is kept.

I've lived the life of a nomad

Been to the stars

Seen the great places

Of a foolish young heart.

Learning to grow a bit closer

To those I hold dear

Has shaped my whole story

The host is now here.

I see the rain coming o'er the hills

Did you win your bet?

I used to sing in the poppy fields.

Still my mind is kept.

Now the fire has died

Victory denied

One last aim at hope

That hope now is gone

Off to somewhere beyond.

Laying in my bed

Dreams will rule my head

Night time guides my fall

I've given my all

I've broken the wall.
