mental illness mental health

mental illness
meet mental health
shake hands and
introduce yourselves
you've got stuff in common
you might need to talk
may I suggest a diner
or a nice long walk

mental health
meet mental illness
I know you're both
not used to stillness
but you could stand
some peace and quiet
it's good for you
c'mon, try it

          it's not your fault
          it's not your fault

mental illness, 
we know the pain
of bad science
overtaking the brain
but you're not evil
no hocus-pocus
it's that you're always
the main focus

and mental health,
you got it hard
you always wind up
bruised and scarred
but you always
make it out alive
it's a miracle
that you survive

          it's not your fault
          it's not your fault

mental illness
mental health
you both best
behave yourselves
'cause here I am
between you two
never knowing
what to do

          it's not my fault
          it's not my fault
          it's not my fault
          it's not my fault
