Strung out
I was lost and confused within my own pain.
For I was the one who was slained and drained
Strung out like a broken yo-yo
I have scars that are darker than cocoa
A drug, white pill, keeps me in reality
Problem are problems and thats straight actuality
Teeth like a squirrel, and veins like snakes
I was told every med, would prevent mistakes
Daring every night I'm sleepless in bed
Tell me Doc, your not there ? Not there yet.
I understand your medicalology, isnt philosophy
But dont impose your false ideals, its no chronological
Order up , order up, hug batches of medicinal red candy.
This red chair reminds me of Raggedy Andy
A dalmation dog on the ceiling, clockwise
My black shirt, rum stench, smells nice as it drys
Im in the void again, same place same time
But these pills make it feel like nothing applies
