Mind Playing Tricks Lyrics by JMSN

Velvet

2018

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
And when the sun goes down
I just stare at the wall
And my thoughts get deep
I just pace around
Chain smoke it off
As the worries creep
Even though I try to act tough
But my head calls the bluff
The house shows a flush
The whole thing's a bust, yeah
My cup starts to flood (cup is startin' to flood)
And it all keeps racking up
(But you know that) I still bleed what I love
And the devil smells blood
The devil smells blood

[beat change]

[Verse 2]
I've been tossing and a turning
In the night I'm feeling something that's atypical (atypical, yeah)
I take a look behind the curtain
But I'm certain that thing is just invisible (invisible, yeah)
So I just keep on working and I'm working
And I'm working so damn hard you'd think it's criminal (you know it's criminal)
And you might think it's concerning
But you know I swear to god that it's medicinal

[Pre-Chorus]
I get on my knees and pray (and now I pray that God)
God give me the strength (you know that give me the strength)
Cause I don't know how much more I can take (I don't know how much more I can take)
Before I break (before I break, before I break, tell me)

[Chorus]
Is my mind playing tricks on me? Yeah
'Cause this all seems like reality
Tell me who the hell should I believe in
When my mind's playing tricks on me
You know my mind keeps playing tricks on me

[Verse 3]
Every person's out here flirting with the battle of the current and original (my mind keeps playing tricks on me)
The situation's getting worsen
I've been searching for the cure you know it's critical (my mind keeps playing tricks on me)
I tried to break the curse but I'm for certain it's unconscious and subliminal (my mind keeps playing tricks on me)
So don't you tell me that there's no such thing as perfect
'Cause I swear to god it's never been more pivotal (yeah, keeps playing tricks on me)

[Pre-Chorus]
I get on my knees and pray (oh and now I pray to God)
God give me the strength (wanna give me the strength, yeah)
Cause I don't know how much more I can take (I don't know how much more I can take)
Before I break
Tell me

[Chorus]
Is my mind playing tricks on me? (Is my mind playing tricks on me?)
'Cause this all seems like reality (tell me is this reality)
Tell me who the hell should I believe in (who the hell should I believe in)
When my mind's playing tricks on me
You know my mind keeps playing tricks on me

[Outro]
You know my mind keeps playing tricks on me
