Schizophrenia Lyrics

Staring at the mirror I don't even know my own face

My mind spinning circles

My world filled with empty space

The light playing tricks on my sense of time

When strangers come up to me

I say I'm just fine

Who can believe all this straightjacket logic?

When people say they're schizophrenic

Aren't they neurologic?

There's so many of us reeling

Wandering around

Searching for clarity

Focusing on inner sounds

If all we need is love

What's the fighting all about?

They've stacked the cards against us

And now they're shaking us down!

Crackin up from chronic lack of REM sleep was bound to happen

Howlin at the moon

Whisper if you catch me nappin

I seem to explode at the drop of a hat

For no apparent reason

So what's up with that?

Blame the ugly side effects on all this medication

I know I'm only schizophrenic

But who needs such aggravation?

Freedom is something none of us has

So we lie to ourselves

Have you ever noticed?

They keep me in a lab conducting the most invasive tests

My behavior makes them nervous

Maybe they've got things to hide?

My plan is to check myself out involuntarily

Her smile will light my path

See, I've done all the higher math…

Needing just to be with her without raising expectations

One wet kiss would be enough to energize my sensations

But then I remember who I really am

And the laughing gets the best of me

I just don't stand a chance

I must not be alone in here

Coz even when it's dark

This notion that I'm schizophrenic

Tells me where to start
