in the mind of the wicked


From one corner to the next

I gotta get my tec

i'm just a huge mess

cause my reaction is a reckless

 

Don't want to get help

im being look at

judged at

and labeled

 

I don't want to be labeled

labeled a crazy

and put in restraints

against my will

 

I want the voices out and not like this

not like this.

and not like that

treated like a human

 

Not in a cage

 

Mental health is true

and i'm a victim in its game

and the game isn’t a gain

but in a campaign

 

does it really need to be debated

if i get treatment or not

and get the blame for being the victim

 

They want the crime down

but don’t want to heal it

they want to blame the poor

when it's not just one’s fault

 

Please people stand up

and fight for the funds

and for the staff

to get our care done.
