That's the Plan
They tell me I'm an addict,
They tell me I have a problem.
I have no problem!
I don't need to be here!
I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time!
They're trying to get me to open up,
Trying to test me sayin';
I'm too afraid,
I'm too bottled up.
I'm a disaster,
I'm mentally unstable.
They're trying to push my buttons,
They're trying to make me explode.
They keep trying, they'll see a side of me
That I keep hidden.
They say I need to let go,
To forgive myself,
To forgive others.
I need to say sorry,
I need to change.
I don't need to do shit!
All I need to do is sit
And pee in a cup.
Stay clean.
That's it.
