Being broken by her It’s the story of what we were Til I realised that I had to get up off my knees And be the cure to my own disease And it was distasteful and it was crude And there are parts where they call me rude When I try to express how I feel And all this “psychosis” is real I just pretend it’s not When the seat gets hot And I’m sitting in a beanbag in Dean Swift And even those days were a gift As I listened to Marina and the Diamonds On a CD player in the meditation room And the bells of doom Only reach me half of the time The rest of it I’m sucking a lime And crumpling up my face Like all the Barry that went to waste When he tried to lead me down the garden path Like he knows nothing of the god of wrath And it’s doubtful if I will ever see him again And he would not be my first choice in men As he speaks a double innuendo And I wonder what he defend though When he grins and snickers I blink and the candlelight flickers And it wrong if I think St. Pat’s can be fun When everyone’s treating me like I am the one It all circles round And every sound Echoes cymbals And the vandals Can’t tear down my peace of mind It happens when I succumb to the grind And allow them to medicate Me like I’m a girl on a blind date As though there is no telling what these pills will do They assure me; they will help you But I’m already epic, do you want me less so I dunno I know they think I’m crazy, sorry, “unwell” I have half a mind to tell them all to go to hell With their what have you’s and plurality Do they even know what walks the skin of me I don’t think so though maybe some suspect I can tell when the veil is wrecked And someone just reaches through To hold my hand and say “I love you” Or just trip into my chair Hey Emmett, I’m glad you were there
