My mind says no,
My body says yes,
I am rushed,
My heart gets crushed,
Damn to my desires!
Let them die in sin
And go to place that I will find one day,
But,
Let me be washed away,
My mind and soul;
All sinful deeds,
Let it be washed then
dried to perfection.
Maybe then will I be..
Sane and stable.

I was listening to music by Robert Pattinson, and these words came to me in a flurry. I guess its about all the bad choices I made and wanting a 'reset' button.

In life we don't get a reset button.. But we do have our words like you're doing to get all the feelings out.
