I remember a time when I liked you more
And all the world could see
That my bad taste and faith in you
Would soon be the death of me

Problem Adult (for Andrew)

You can incarcerate a child and call his jail a school.
You can call his protests a deficit but that's just ignorant and cruel.
From this arrogant prespective you can be sure you're always right,
But you can suck my dick and blame yourself when the kid bolts in the night.

You're doing these kids a real disservice.
They're not as dumb and helpless as you'd like to believe.
Just because they don't buy into your bullshit
Doesn't mean they all have ADD.

Diagnosis Dissatisfaction

Lithium please rescue me from this ecstatic joy I feel-
What a pesky sense of elation, it must be an aberration.
Singing, how strange it is to be loved by you. Truly,
What an alienating blessing it is to make nonsense.

The greatest times I'll ever medicate
Are those spent alone in outer space.
With no one around to interfere, no longer
Do the two eyes distract from the third.

People are such an oppressive distraction.
I suppose they're grounding, like an injury-
Something nagging, reminding me I'm still here,
But all the more reason to escape.
