Thieves In My Head

[Verse 1]
I didn't lose my mind
It slipped out through the screen door
Hitched a ride on a freight line
Headed east from the wheat floor
Now it's out past Wagga
Talking wild to the crows
Leaving notes in the red dust
Only I ever know

[Chorus]
The people in my head stole it
Ran off with my whole damn headspace
Laughing in a flat-share palace
Somewhere off the M4
Hiding in the staircase
I didn't lose my mind
They took it
Won't answer when I call them back
Yeah
The people in my head stole it
And they won't give it back

[Verse 2]
They're drinking all my coffee
Arguing about my name
Changing all my passwords
Rewriting every frame
They surf my late-night channels
Sing along with my past
Turn my quiet into static
Then they shove me off the tracks

[Chorus]
The people in my head stole it
Ran off with my whole damn headspace
Laughing in a flat-share palace
Somewhere off the M4
Hiding in the staircase
I didn't lose my mind
They took it
Won't answer when I call them back
Yeah
The people in my head stole it
And they won't give it back

[Bridge]
Are they watching the waves in Fremantle
Or stuck at a bar in Fitzroy
Passing my thoughts like a candle
Playing my pain like a toy (oh no)
If you see them out in the suburbs
Carrying a second-hand soul
Tell them I'm here in the silence
Waiting to feel whole

[Chorus]
The people in my head stole it
Ran off with my whole damn headspace
Laughing in a flat-share palace
Somewhere off the M4
Hiding in the staircase
I didn't lose my mind
They took it
Won't answer when I call them back
Yeah
The people in my head stole it
And they won't give it back
