There is bitterness in my heart
I gave them something and they tore it apart
And I held my hands out to her
She just watched the water
Pour on through
And said it is because of you
I struggled in vain and the drowning sun
Sought to end what was begun
I asked, I listened, I offered bowls
But something was fighting for our souls
And it won in that battle
I could feel the snake rattle
As it came close and its tail
Spoke of something that does not fail
To sting when it bites
They read me my miranda rights
And handcuffed me and took me to the cell
The doctor said I was not well
As though she was bestowing a gift
“You’re ill and we’ll help it to lift”
They thought I was crazy
And I do not let it faze me
To call bullshit on their lies
She has a family photo on the table beside
The seats where we both sit
And I wait for the truth to hit
As she leads me back to the ward
We pass by some roses and, so untoward,
She says “they are happy to be here”
And I want to make something crystal clear
I am not in this institution
Because I’m searching for a solution 
To some profound sort of despair
I want you to be glad I was there
So I can’t take this structure down stone by stone
Lead the lost souls back home
As if you ever could rage against that light
Death was love at first sight
