Ward3

Pessimistic, deterministic
Freud says you love me
'cause you're wearing red lipstick
Schizophrenic, paranoid
I'm not insane, I'm just unemployed
I got no reason, I got no rhyme
Certified and doing fine
I had the gun but I didn't shoot
Now I'm doing time in the institute

Elated, sedated
We don't care
We're all here
'cause we're not all there
Elated, sedated
We don't care
We're all here
'cause we're not all there

Aggressive, depressive
Conscience free
I got an antisocial personality
Psychotherapy doc ain't hearin' me
If speaking my mind ain't a crime
Why they fearin' me
Turned it around
Truth unfound
Regression through repression
Breaks a sound mind down
Now my Ego ain't talkin' to my Id
I sure hope it wasn't something that I did

Elated, sedated
We don't care
We're all here
'cause we're not all there
Elated, sedated
We don't care
We're all here
'cause we're not all there

Bored by the banality
Divorced from this reality
Hyped for this hostile hospital's hospitality
Blue glove, tough love
Pushing her night drug
Any nurse who tries to treat me
Better be holding the right stuff
Haunting the halls
Bouncing off magenta walls
Me and my homies
Shuffle down to the scrip calls
Tossen'em back
Fat stacks of dank-ass pharma smack
Relaxin' me back on track
Before I relapse
Watch me slip
Court mandated head trip
Lost in my mind
Trying to find where I lost my shit
Rockin' the quiet room
Rolling like a sonic boom
Turned up loud and proud
'til I ran out of headroom
Shut down, hit the ground
Whole world upside down
Last call, Haldol is a hell of a letdown

Elated, sedated
We don't care
We're all here
'cause we're not all there
Elated, sedated
We don't care
We're all here
'cause we're not all there

Chronically hectic
Perpetually apoplectic
The connection between me
And my ECT tech is electric
Her name is Marge
She's large and in charge
She straps me down and lights me up
With her electrical discharge
She plugs me in
She keeps me free from sin
So I'll forget to get upset
And then regret what she's doin

Boom goes the light
Bright white blinded by the sight
Of a vast miscasted past
Cast in contrasting light
No wrong and no right
As my mind takes flight
And I receive a reprieve
From this perpetual twilight

Boom goes the light
Here comes the gravity
Gotta blow my mind
To redefine my reality
The self is a fusion
Of the pain and self-deluded illusion
To the inevitable conclusion
Of our self-else duality

Boom goes the light
Here I go again
Getting lost in confusing thoughts
So I lose what I was
When I thought
That I wasn't when
All I was was pain and loss
And fearful thoughts and guilt-ridden
Falling down through the depths of the darkness
Soundless, boundless, starkness remains

We're rising up
To the cusp of our conscious thought
We're ascending co-depending
On what our co-pay bought
And though we're fraught
As we fight against what our minds have wrought
We still feel that what's real
Is what we really thought
We're rising up to the top
Ain't never gonna stop
Pretending to be a defending force
For the course of our normal thought
And while these words that we say
May make it seem that way
We'll be screaming
While we're keeping those voices at bay

Elated, sedated
We don't care
We're all here
'cause we're not all there
Elated, sedated
We don't care
We're all here
'cause we're not all there
Elated, sedated
We don't care
We're all here
'cause we're not all there
