lyrics

Probably just a symptom of the antipsychotics so I’m atypical like the ones in my pocket
That’s why I’m a little off even when I’m on it the doctors say they’ll make me less neurotic
Used to be a walking pharmacy, call me CVS cuz I’ve taken every single pill that exists
To quell the monsters that hide under my bed, oh shit, I meant the monsters in my head
I’m high functioning, that’s what my therapist says cuz I can kinda hold down a job and pay rent
And don’t need the government to write me checks been told I look too normal to be schizophrenic
that's cuz I learned to hide it well and play pretend put up the facade and kept it close to my chest
Only the closest few know what’s up in my head. Well, that’s until you listen to this song I guess.

[Chorus]
Mary Todd Lincoln was a schizophrenic like me! Mary Todd Lincoln was a schizophrenic like me!
Mary Todd Lincoln was a schizophrenic like me! Mary Todd Lincoln was a -

Never lied about my condition, you just never asked. Let’s be honest, how do you ask a question like that?
If I opened with that, don’t you think you’d run fast? You say no now but I’ve been shown different in the past.
If I’m being real I’ve got my shit on lock. Delusions minimal, voices mostly turned off
Wanted truth so that’s what you got. I’m more than a diagnosis on a doctor’s comp.
I’m struggle and suffering voiced through songs but I’ve climbed mountains even when the winds were strong
Been led astray when trying to follow along so I follow no one now and lead myself beyond
Doubts and fears that come with my condition but goddammit music’s good as contrition
It’s been awhile now I’ve been in remission so I’m enjoying life outside before I return to this prison

[Chorus]

Went from ritalin rat to geodon head ‘till all psychotropics made me brain dead
But with big pharma that’s the prevailing trend, I’m only as sick as I let myself get
Down to two pills a night, that’s progress, like when cannibals started using forks I guess
Down to two pills a night, that's progress but none at all would be even better I bet

[Chorus]

John Forbes Nash was a schizophrenic like me! John Forbes Nash was a schizophrenic like me!
John Forbes Nash was a schizophrenic like me! John Forbes Nash was a -
Jack Kerouac was a schizophrenic like me! Jack Kerouac was a schizophrenic like me!
Jack Kerouac was a schizophrenic like me! Jack Kerouac was a -
Nick Blinko is a schizophrenic like me! Nick Blinko is a schizophrenic like me!
Nick Blinko is a schizophrenic like me! Nick Blinko is a -
You might be a schizophrenic like me! You might be a schizophrenic like me!
You might be a schizophrenic like me! You might be a -
