i am mental illness
i wrote the best books you ever read
i dine in the dumpster behind your favorite restaurant
i am mental illness
i walk oscar's red carpet
i walk 6th street and service married men
i am mental illness
through no fault of my own
bad genes, bad parenting, doctor assured us it was safe for babies
i am mental illness
i don't trust the normals who created me, vilified me,
electrified me, lobotomized me and drove me out of polite society
i am mental illness
i hide what i am
i work next to you,married you, birthed you, befriended you
i am mental illness
i wrote most of the songs on your ipod
why do you force me
