Thoughts in Mind

[Intro]
Everybody's willing to surrender

[Verse 1: Chris Orrick]
Uh, uh
This day in age, these trying times
The words in my heart
Allow my contradictions, let me be conflicted
Let me do some improv’ while everything feels scripted
Let me pull my weapon, shoot from where the hip is
Tell the truth, let it loose, do away with fiction
I'm feeling these days, no one's given leeway
People on the high road, swerving off the freeway
I’m trying to find the silver lining where it still hurts
I go by Chris now, remember I was Pill first, swallowing that pill hurts
Looking at the real world, who we are as people, feeling unfamiliar
I'm trying to find that moment to rewind back
Tell me where the time went
Show me where my mind's at
This world got me spinnin' in my chair
News cast got me sick, fist swinging at the air
Information overload, aimed from the overlords
I keep my head on a swivel, never overboard

[Chorus: Chris Orrick]
In this day and age, these trying times
These are the- these are the thoughts in my mind
We knew from the start that things fall apart
These are the- these are the words in my heart
In this day and age, these trying times
These are the- these are the thoughts in my mind
We knew from the start that things fall apart
These are the- these are the words in my heart

[Verse 2: Magestik Legend]
Came back from tour, got diagnosed with pre-diabetes
That's too much partying, had to slow down the drinking
Meditation saved my life, I started reading
A book every two weeks, had to change my eating
Had to change my routine, had to stop the edies
Everyday I'm getting up but not getting ready
For the world, for myself, for my thoughts
When I was overseas I felt like something was off
I felt like I was performing at my shows
Reliving all of the torment that I know
Giving the crowd all the energy I had
But when I left the stage I was feeling worse than bad
We rehearsed these raps, the stories that we know
Destroy us as we grow
They call that music "soul"
What we think and eat is what will make us
My doctor surprised that I'm alive
I'm just grateful when I wake up

[Chorus: Chris Orrick]
In this day and age, these trying times
These are the- these are the thoughts in my mind
We knew from the start that things fall apart
These are the- these are the words in my heart
In this day and age, these trying times
These are the- these are the thoughts in my mind
We knew from the start that things fall apart
These are the- these are the words in my heart

[Outro]
This day in age, these trying times
The words in my heart
