Label Me Insane

Billion-dollar industry
Promising help
Offering slow death
Profitable as fuck

Creating illusion
Of trust and authority
Revel in from others’
Pain and misery

Your best cure
Are these pills forever
Your best cure
Ah, it cannot be cured!

Come back more
When your health declines
We’ll make it worse
Even more!

Label me insane
My madness is not my enemy
Darkside you hide
Is where I flourish
Label me insane
By your fucked up terms of sanity
Befriend the darkness
That’s how I flourish

Your diagnosis
I take as fact
You don’t even know
What the fuck it is

Call me schizotypal
Call me depressed
Call me schizophrenic
Incurably ill

The fact is
I still feel, I do care, I’m not dead inside
Yet you say the only cure is to
Kill it all!

Label me insane
My madness is not my enemy
Darkside you hide
Is where I flourish
Label me insane
By your fucked up terms of sanity
Befriend the darkness
That’s how I flourish

Doctor, brainwash me with how terrible that is
Make me feel inadequate
Make me think that I’m so fucked up
And stuff my mouth with all the pills that pay your bills
Oh shit, save me!
I trust my future in your hands
You’re sworn to heal me
Oh, do as you please
Experiment with my consciousness!

Label me insane
My madness is not my enemy
Darkside you hide
Is where I flourish
Label me insane
By your fucked up terms of sanity
Befriend the darkness
That’s how I flourish

The one who cares
Is yourself
The one who can help
Is yourself
