****Trigger Warning – Mental Health****

I jumped in front of a speeding train 
Just so that I could stop the rain 
Falling on someone else 
And mental health
Means nothing when you lie to knees 
That tell you you have some disease 
And I agree and nod my head
But I just think of you in bed 
Or when Emmett comes to check the curtain 
And makes sure nobody is hurting 
From the wounds they have obtained 
Being somewhere well maintained 
And it was fun and it was cool 
And it was kind of like being in school 
But without the grades
And Alan wore shades 
And I wanted to ask him; where’d you get your glasses
But I think I must have skipped one of those classes 
As he messed up the meditation room, I’m not sure why 
But I go for a walk and I see the sky 
By the pink painted wall 
And that young girl paces the hall
As the old lady talks about me and says 
“There’s not much wrong with her, but anyways
What about the hurling”
And it’s like a lotus petal unfurling 
And I could be bitter for the rest of my life
Throw barbed wire fences at his wife 
But it won’t bring him back 
And it won’t mean jack 
If it didn’t then 
So I say a prayer, close it with an amen
