Sometimes I feel like an Eve in a garden
All of a sudden I've got clothes on
Aware of the trees and the turn of the seasons
Now I find I need reasons where there are none
All of my life I've been lied to
I always thought that I would find you but
How come I don't recognize you?
You took years to fabricate
Now you evaporate
You're just a state of mind
Sometimes I feel like I'm nobody's daughter
Like I died in the water with Ophelia
And it's gonna hurt when the last breath disperses
And the air fills with curses from believers
All my life I've been lied to
I always thought that I would find you but
How come I don't recognize you?
You took years to fabricate
Now you evaporate
You're just a state of mind
Outside there's a wild rugged country
Where no one's gonna tell me which big mountain I can't climb
And outside there are deserts and forests
And the more I explore it, yeah, the more there is to find
To find
Now I see what this whole place is made of
It's a ramshackle trade-off for the real thing
The trees that I climbed I see now were made of paper
And the foil rivers taper to the ceiling
All of my life I've been praying
That there'd be something here worth saving
But this garden was only some playpen
Now we've set the record straight
Open up the gate
You're just a state of mind
A creator to create
Nothing there to love or hate
You're just a state of mind
