He kept a gun in the passenger seat
As he drove through the desert night
Retraced his steps for the things that he left
When he made the unexpected flight
The affliction burned as he returned
To where he hoped he would find the light
Was he out of his mind?
Taken in by the holy men
He cut himself into the cloth
Fingers point and heads shake
Maybe doctors could have staved it off
Somewhere between magic and divine
He was looking for a little relief
He bent and kissed my feet
Come back brother come on over
Give us some sort of sign
Deep into the eyes, a symbol and a sign
We bent the corners of the rules
But you put on the robes
Did it drive you out of your mind?
In a small brown cell
Secret threats and time to think
On heaven and hell
What's beyond the olive trees
Six years passed and the world grew strange
Before he came back to our world
He drifted off into strange new thoughts
Wandered in the dark alone
The monks shrugged off the things he lost
He said they were full of lies
He drove back into the night
The last moments of his life
Come on brother, come back over
Give us some sort of sign
Say you're doing fine, tell us you're alright
We watched the rules slide off the pages
And you took off the robes
Did they drive you out of your mind?
Words became a voice, and the voice was unknown
An unshakable noise, and it followed you home
Skull in a box, couldn't make your sins disappear
Nothing to forgive and you do not belong here
Did they drive you out of your mind?
Were you always out of your mind?
Goodbye brother, you crossed on over
and gave us all a sign
Whatever was inside, was it there the entire time?
We search the rules for what we should say
As they put on your final robes
Did they drive you out of your mind?
