Thorazine Shuffle

       
here inside the madness      
the sun is blaring      
       
in the psych ward it's always noon      
on the same day      
a florescent light beats down on me      
& steals from my essence      
       
the day you turned away        
is on constant repeat        
trapped inside isolation      
my soul captured      
& left abandoned      
       
i wail at the wall      
because you refused to face me      
       
you played doctor with my sanity      
said my love delusional      
i've been committed      
to life alone for loving you      
       
i masturbate to broken dreams      
as padded walls close in on me      
muffling my screams      
       
you left my soul in torment      
injected me with Thorazine        
so i would be silent      
& not rattle the other patients      
       
in this crazy fucked up existense      
you made me feel insane      
for my brand of passion      
       
i love wholly      
with no reservations        
       
you tell me hurry & get better      
after you broke me inside      
keep your prescription of poorly told lies      
i'm moving on with my life
