(I don't actually have schizophrenia. This is a fictional story)
Be as critical as possible. I'm damn hard on myself, seeing as how this is my 5th draft.
Intro:
My name’s Jake Adams, and this is my story
Verse 1:
The Higurashi are crying as always
I’ve been hearing nothing but voices all day
To my sanity, I say sayonara
I’m going crazy like Keiichi Maebara
I’m in a time loop, distrusting my friends
Which is why I’m unable to comprehend
Syd Barrett helps, but not antipsychotics
Mind’s A Saucerful Of Secrets. Agnostic
But I pray, I may be going psychotic
Growing in my mind seeds of doubt that are toxic
Money tree’s been smashed to the ground
Time is money, and I’m getting a discount
Pre-chorus:
It all started small. First, it was just noises
Then it became voices now my life’s joyless
I am seeing things that don’t even exist
As the pendulum swings I resist
Hook (2x)
I’m not worthless I’m not worthless
I do not know what I must do
Someone save me, please!
Shut up shut up shut up!
Verse 2:
My friend invited me to a party for his birthday
I thought, “okay” but it was a cursed day
When I walk into the room it’s All Eyez On Me
Like 2pac, I’m hot-headed. The way things seem
It’s Me Against The World I wanna hurl
Maybe I should go get help like my girl
The demons, I’m able to feel them, they’re real
Even when I eat my meal they’re schemin a deal
As I took wine voices said it was asinine
They wanted me dead in an acid mine
My glass fell, friend asked if I was okay
Demons spoke loud, my hearing was betrayed
Demons said, “he hates you”, “shut up” I yelled out loud
“What?” my friend asked, raising his eyebrows
As the crowd stared at me, the demons spoke
“Worthless, no one’s proud of you, you’re broke”
I went home, feeling a cold sweat on my neck
Laid down, stared at the ceiling, smoked a cigarette
Phone rang, demons said, “They know who you are”
“Don’t answer”, but I answered the call
Barely heard with the voices ringing in my head
It was my friend, asking me if I was okay, I said,
“Yeah.” I didn’t know how to explain the demons
He’d think I lost my mind like Jesus
I hung up, and thought about getting help
I didn’t want my mind to go to Hell
Pre-chorus:
It all started small. First, it was just noises
Then it became voices now my life’s joyless
I am seeing things that don’t even exist
As the pendulum swings I resist
Hook (2x)
I’m not worthless I’m not worthless
I do not know what I must do
Someone save me, please!
Shut up shut up shut up!
