Basket Case

I think back on all my past mistakes

Trying to figure out why I’m such a basket case

But I’m absent minded with half the facts erased

I need a detective to come and crack the case

I have to face / the fact that I may be crazy

Don’t bother calling the doctor / no way to save me

I don’t blame you for always trying to evade me

I blame God / because this is the way he made me...

I got out of the car / before me stood the hospital

A nurse coldly told me / treatment would be optional

That seems logical / nothing strange / then I notice

My shown diagnosis was full-blown psychosis

Mixed with a just a little bit of anxious neurosis

It’s atrocious / my sole known focus had grown so hopeless

I’m freezing / I’m sneezing / alone on the border

Of panic or going manic from bipolar disorder

Older supporters were applying some kid gloves

Some were lying / trying to get rid of the lion amid doves

Not sighing and loveless / or crying from numbness

I trusted that toughness would supply me with justice

My try must have just missed / now the power of the fears rise

I cower at the sheer size / shower in my peers' lies

Clear skies / will no longer exist in my life

My days and nights will now be consisting of strife

I say this is hell / they keep insisting it’s life

How can I believe deceivers so persistent with lies?

I consistently try / to resist my insanity

I only manage to ramble random candid profanity

My life is a calamity / and this is only day one

An old man clamors, “It'll be a lonely stay son”

I remained stunned / for most of the afternoon

But apparently there are things that I have to do

Like share my feelings with people I'd never met before

No chance / what did they even get me for

I took a seat in the corner / and sat silently

Try in vain to maintain the remains of my privacy

I was bored and ignored the other's who took a turn

I abhorred the thought of just trying to look concerned

My problems are mine / and theirs are theirs

People should find their way out of other’s affairs

The insane shit in my brain sits as only my business

So can I go now? / Are we done? / Is this finished?
