lyrics

I tried to make it nice
I tried to make it beautiful
I wanted it to be magical and sweet
But the flowers turned to stone
The sunshine disappeared and left me
Cold and all alone again
I pictured in my mind
That everything was perfectly fine
I swallowed hard and grinned until I smiled
But the grass beneath me died
An emptiness took shape inside
And made the world turn wicked dark and wild
This is the way it sometimes goes
Something changes and starts to take hold
Try to wish it away but it only grows and grows
And they say it’s only thought distortion
I can’t slow down this thought distortion
The pedal’s stuck and I can’t control this thought distortion
Thought distortion
The invitation came
Addressed to me by name to attend
Excitement running through my brain
A new lease on life
Everything was good and bright
No more misery and pain
I felt so clean and blessed
I even wore my Sunday best
My heart’s desire realized
But things got re-arranged
Everyone turned perfectly strange
Hidden innuendo in their eyes
They tell me that this isn’t real
But they don’t know how it feels
It picks up speed like a burning, burning wheel
And they say it’s only thought distortion
I can’t slow down this thought distortion
The pedal’s stuck and I can’t control this thought distortion
Thought distortion
And they say it’s only thought distortion
I can’t slow down this thought distortion
The pedal’s stuck and I can’t control this thought distortion
Thought distortion
