Alan Watts - I Was Prescribed Lithium Lyrics

[Intro: Alan Watts]
You must go on, the reason is you see that we are not living in the eternal now, where reality is
We are always thinking that the satisfaction of life will be coming later
Don’t kid yourself
Only suckers put hope in the future

[Verse 1]
My mind constantly crashing like a tidal wave
My mind constantly amassing, thoughts they pave the way
For all this anger that sprays and sprays
No particular direction just goes every which way
Putting an end to everything hoe, whether friend or foe
My mind's simplistic, hypocritic, and narcissistic
Always feeling conflicted
On a mission to stop this schizo' behavior
Like religion, I can't tell who my savior
Most of the time I speak my mind through this rhyme
So let me tell you what it's been like
I feel like I'm walking on a tire, that's on fire
And y'all just hold me higher, thinking I'm a squire, 'Till my mind state is dire
And I explode with hate, I don't mean it it's something I hate

[Verse 2]
This is my coping mechanism to deal with skepticism
And it's a cycle, repetition
My squares are circles, I'm back in prison
Saw a psychiatrist, she said I have A.D.D, A.D.H.D, B.P.D, and depression
Got me feeling like I'm crazy, ooh we who me, so I start the regression
I don't hate you I just hate what you say and do
Scratch that wait I hate what I do
Whenever my sanity I lose
I'm attacked and strapped with this rage, I feel like I'm in a cage
[Bridge]
Anytime you say I'm perfect I don't feel I deserve it
I'm just not worth it
I'm not there for you, how I wish I could
So lower your standards
I'm not a tennis shoe, I'm a broken-down sandal
All of you poke holes at my soul, so I explode all around
My anger misplaced, to cover up my pressed face
I know you all love me and are proud of me
So sincerely this is my apology to you Tony, Ashley, and moon
But I feel like I'm in a cold room, Bleeding and sweating

[Verse 3]
I almost forgot to mention you too 7, and you lunacy
You helped me keep it true to me
Through mental breakdowns, ups and downs
I'll try to control, when I tear and tear, when I fear and am scared
I'll try to be there
Let's all kill Ken, so he can be the best version he can

[Outro]
This is my coping mechanism to deal with skepticism
And it's a cycle, repetition
My squares are circles, I'm back in prison
Saw a psychiatrist, she said I have A.D.D, A.D.H.D, B.P.D, and depression
Got me feeling like I'm crazy, ooh we who me, so I start the regression
I don't hate you I just hate what you say and do
Scratch that wait I hate what I do
Whenever my sanity I lose
I'm attacked and strapped with this rage, I feel like I'm in a cage
