Scream!  (You’re in a room with a crazy person)

 
four padded walls pushing in
sun light peeking through a crack  
(breath, slowing down)   
hard bed with plastic covers   
hands and legs bound   
(skin chilled to the bone)   
alone, frighten from my own thoughts   
a bug eating through my subconscious   
(need to cut the bug out)   
 
did you ever wonder about me?   
did you ever try to understand my disorder?   
did you ever think this could be you?   
maybe there’s more to me than just crazy   
 
doctor, tell me what you see   
am I just an ink splatter   
(to your luxurious life)   
can I have a few minutes of your god damn time?   
I’m sure thirty minutes will make me all better  
(form your bullshit)   
just give me pills to make me worse   
this mental illness physically hurts   
(rumor has it… I’m a lost cause)   
 
did you ever try to push through?   
did you ever think I needed you?   
did you ever really care to fix me?   
maybe there’s more to me than, screams!!!  
 
the highs are blissful but the lows are destructive   
pendulum of my own emotions   
(let me the fuck out!)   
pacing back and forth like an unholy lord   
trying to rip these padded walls down   
(help me! someone help me!!)   
doctors rushing in, holding me down   
a shot to the arm blurring my eyes   
(oh god just let me die)
