The Mind Is Evil

there's no such thing as a cold, careless heart
 and no one is heartless that i've ever known
 the things that you wanted were there from the start
 and of that bad stuff is there in the mind
 it's the mind that is evil
 it makes me do all those unspeakable things
 things i can't bear to remember
 i put up a fight but my mind always wins
 there's nothing to do but surrender
 it's the mind that is evil
 it's the mind that is evil
 it's the mind that is evil
 and sometimes i think, if i killed off my mind
 then my heart and i would be free
 but somehow it knows what i am thinking about
 and it's always that one step ahead of me
 when i am angry or bitter, it's never my fault
 but nobody seems to believe me
 it's out of my hands
 i just do what i am told
 if i don't then it knows how to hurt me
 it's the mind that is evil
 it's the mind that is evil
 it's the mind that is evil
 and sometimes i think
 if i killed off my mind
 then my heart and i would be free
 but somehow it knows what i am thinking about
 and it's always one step ahead of me
