ANGER IS MY FRIEND MY TANTRUMMING TWIN

IT FEEDS ME AND MAKES ME STRONG

MAKES ME NOT NEED YOU TO ACCCEPT ME

TELL ME WHERE I BELONG



I'M SAT CROSS LEGGED IN THESE HOSPITAL THREADS

NONDESCRIPT BUT BLEEDING ADDING COLOUR TO MY LIFE

SCARLET RED THE BLOOD EBBS AND FLOWS

STILL YOU TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE



I HAVE SO MANY NAMES IN MY HEAD SO MANY DIAGNOSES

NONE WHICH MEAN SHIT TO ME

I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO LOOK AT ME

LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND

I AM NOT MAD



I DO HAVE FUNNY SENSATIONS

AND PARANOID THOUGHTS

I AM LOCKD UP TO PROTECT ME

SO THEY SAY

IN PROTECTION IS DENIAL

OF WHO I AM WHAT I FEEL

WHO ARE YOU TO SAY THAT WHAT I SEE IS NOT REAL



IN MY PARALLEL WORLD IT COULD BE YOU DEAR DOCTOR OR NURSE

SAT BESIDE ME CUTTING YOURSELF TO EASE THE PAIN

IT STILL MAY BE, NOONE IS IMMUNE

SO SIT DOWN HERE BESIDE ME AND LISTEN TO MY STORY

I WAS ONCE A NURSE LIKE YOU,

NOW THEY SAY IM CLINICALLY INSANE



SO I DANCE IN SHADOWS

FLITTING FROM AWAKE TO SLEEP ZAPPED OUT ON MEDICATION

IF I DONT COMPLY THERES HELL TO PAY

DRY MOUTH, AGITATION, RESTLESSNESS, DEPRESSION

BUT HEY THEY SAY IM GETTING BETTER



UNTIL THE NEXT TIME.

I WAIT POUNCED LIKE A CAT ON COALS

SCared of every solitary thought

am I ill again am I mad am I bad

OR AM I JUST LIKE YOU?
