get me off facebook now


I'm mad
I'm really mad
I'm the maddest I've ever been
How mad am I?
I'll tell you why
I've got this madness within
I'm so mad I'll do
what I want to do
and I don't care what's allowed
I just have one request from you
get me off Facebook now

     get me off Facebook now
     still my stressed out brain
     I don't care where or how
     help my rage to be contained
     I'm using exclamation english
     and I don't mean holy cow
     get me off Facebook now

don't let me post to enemies
that I've forgotten to unfriend
and political discussions  
that only lead to bitter ends
I've had enough
hose me off
I'm throwing in the towel
I've got an urge
that I have the purge
get me off Facebook now

      get me off Facebook now
      just be my babysitter
      there must be a way somehow
      to disallow
      Instagram and twitter
      I've got a stupid stubborn longing
      to be holier than thou
      get me off Facebook now
       (I really mean it)
      get me off Facebook now
      (hope no one's seen it)
      get me off Facebook now
      (sorry to dump here)
      get me off Facebook now
      (insert line about Trump here)
      get me off Facebook now

radio help


I am desperate
I am fucked up
I don't know 
what messed my life up
all I've heard is
I should buck up
and hide anything I feel
I am cursing 
I am crying
I want to tell
this world goodbye and
there ain't no use denying
mental illness is real

          radio help
          you gotta understand
          I need someone now
          I'm drowning on dry land
          and I can't protect myself
          radio help

I ain't healthy
I ain't pleased
I've prayed so much
I got bruised knees
but it all comes down
to this disease
that's made a home inside my brain
this shit should be
illegal, man
I'm thinking like
a feeble man
quick!
call PBS
David Eagleman
maybe he could explain

          radio help
          you gotta understand
          I need someone now
          I'm drowning on dry land
          and I can't protect myself
          radio help

I hear you judging
talking your shit
instructing me to
"snap out of it!"
as you can tell
I'm really pissed
'cause you call yourself a friend
so you can go and
fuck yourself
take your out-of-date ideas
off the shelf
and congratulate 
your mental health
and shove them up
your motherfuckin' ass

          radio help
          you gotta understand
          I need someone now
          I'm drowning on dry land
          and I can't protect myself
          radio help

my suicide plan


I would walk 
in the woods,
with my walker, 
the best I could
late at night 
when there wouldn't be no one
I would take
a look around
put my backpack
on the ground
open it up
and take out my brand-new gun
and I'd put it
to my head
pull the trigger
there, I'm dead
a death too gruesome to mention
maybe heaven
maybe hell
I don't know
who could tell?
but finally I'd get some attention

innocent eyes


newborn in your cradle
oh, look at those Innocent eyes
welcome to life outside your mom
you're in for a big surprise
wait till you see what's in store for you
in a world both cruel and clever
soon you'll see something to change
your innocent eyes forever


yes in a world of no #3


when I was young the future spoke
in words of hopes and dreams
but one by one they came undone
and tumbled faithlessly
like falling stars in summer
with no sign saying "look out below"
soon I found myself on the trail
for a yes in a world of no

therapy


every week I pay 
with the help of insurance
a doctor to watch me cry
I don't need sympathy
or false reassurance
I just want the reasons why
there are holes in my heart
as big as Montana
and they're looking to swallow me whole
I try to stand firm
and be a strong man
ah, man, but I'm losing control

every week I go
with the help of insurance
to a doctor to hear me sob
about how life
is a test of endurance
I sure don't envy his job
'cause I've got pain
as wide as west Texas
and I don't want to hear
about childhood
and the way it affects us
doc, I'm covering my ears
I'm cowering in fear
I'm going to disappear
I'm going to disappear

every week I ride the bus
and with the help of insurance
I see a doctor to keep me alive
I try to keep the faith
but each fierce reoccurrence
makes me doubt if I'll survive
my life is as cold
as the snow in Alaska
but I know someday I'll warm up
I desperately hope
that I'm up to the task
'cause I've had enough
believe me, I've had enough

each week I pay
with the help of insurance
a doctor to watch me cry

yes in a world of no #2


when I went to my hometown high school
I seriously wanted to learn
but learning wasn't a priority
as far as the school was concerned
so I received my education
from the midnight radio
that was where I began to hear
yes in a world of no
yes in a world of no
