    Story Behind the Song
    Mind was written in college sometime, I'm not really too sure what was going on then. I think I was working on the music for a while before Frank gave me his great lyrics about a man in an insane asylum. We worked on the lyrics together- later adding the "blind as a bat" part- and struggled for a while on how to end the song. I always wanted the song to return to the original theme at the beginning, but I could never find a way to do it that flowed musically. There was actually a whole other set of lyrics which went over the part which is now the first guitar solo- but they never seemed to fit. It is a weird song- put together like the random pieces of the deranged mind it describes.

    Lyrics
    I don't mind
    everything that seems to pass away
    I don't mind
    that i can't tell tomorrow from today
    I don't mind
    thoughts that never want to leave their home
    I dont mind
    thoughts that seem to move out on their own

    I don't know
    where everything's starting to go
    I can't say
    where I'm going today
    I won't be
    feeling like I'm me
    But I will try
    to live before I die

    I won't go
    down the roads that I already know
    I won't go
    places not imagined by the soul
    I can't stay
    home just doesn't feel like home today
    I can't stay
    I was not made to sit and drift away

    I don't know
    where everything's starting to go
    I can't say
    where I'm going today
    I won't be
    feeling like I'm me
    But I will try
    to live before I die

    I met a man who swore that he could fly!

    Blind as a bat
    not seeing this or that
    Not quite sure just how to tell
    precisely where I'm at

    The wind's not mean
    and the sky is not cruel
    It's just that you don't realize
    They've got a job to do

    You don't lie, you don't cheat
    you don't eat any meat
    You go outside and shoot the breeze
    with strangers on the street

    You're tough and you're calm
    and you know your rights from wrong
    But any day you could explode
    You're ticking like a bomb....
