1. THERAPY

I watch her scrawl "referral - counseling, anxiety, low self esteem" on a small prescription paper
Laughing at myself for letting it get this far
Put in a box by a licensed professional
Taken down a notch, I've missed the bar
Just put on a happy face, smile for the camera
Pretend you've collected yourself, don't be who you really are
Don't trust them
Never trust them
Because if they're right, you're getting worse, and you know they are

I've been feeling so alone,
I've been putting everybody else before myself
I've been searching for a reason to live,
It's kind of hard when you're crawling in your skin
How did these demons get in ?

But maybe I'm just thinking about this all wrong,
My open wounds have festered for so long
Maybe this might not really be all about me,
Maybe you're the one who really needs the therapy

We're all so hopeless
Ignorant and helpless
They say ignorance is bliss
Now I know it all and I'm not impressed
