Handing Out Tokens

He makes me feel brand new
And I’m not thinking of him when I’m talking to you
And I don’t know who I wrote this about
But no longer mired in self doubt
I listen to the angels that speak their tome
Into my brain when I’m all alone
And I told the psychiatrist that I hear voices
It’s not like he gave me many choices
It’s psychosis or on the brink
Of letting the whole thing sink
And so I drink the potion he’s dying to sell
And all the people they call unwell
And I know it’s nicer than crazy
And it doesn’t faze me
It just feels clinical and watered down
And when you want to drown
Telling people that the sea
Is rising up to meet me
In the great valley I am
And someone mentions a care plan
That I refuse to read
They take my blood and I bleed
Out into several jars
And I wonder if the stars
Had this in mind
When they told me I would not be left behind
By the might of weighted thunder
Some people say I’m just a number
And don’t know what to do
But do you want to rock it with us, do you
And I lose the rag
And the man tries to brag
But it falls flat
As I wonder what the hell is he at
I realise only too late
He was trying to impress me into a date
Or a roll in the sheets
Was it predestined that we meet
Or was it organised
And something within never dies
No matter what they put you through
Telling you it’s for the good too
As they lie to your face
But they lie to themselves too and it’s a waste
As the Barbie dream house claims one more doll
Was I wrong to answer the call?
