Call the doc, I must be sick. Better get me my medicine!

There is no more sadness; only smiles from ear to ear. Oh, how fun it is to have finally snapped!

I need my medication. Don’t wanna go crazy again!

I spin around the room and laugh. I laugh until my chest starts to hurt. I laugh until I taste the blood rising up my throat.

Call the doc, I must be sick. Better get me my medicine!

Heavy techno blasts from the speakers, though I can barely hear it over the voices in my head. They tell me to keep dancing forever.

Come on now, don’t go insane. Don’t you wanna keep all the pain?!

We dance and dance until we fall down, the splintered wooden floor scraping the skin off of our legs. But we don’t feel a **** thing! Not one thing! Oh, isn’t it great?!

Call the doc, I must be sick. Better get me my medicine!

Instead of worrying about all the blood, we use it. Write our name on the wall and chant a ritual from a made up language. We can’t tell if anything happens or not. The voices chatter and babble on and keep me from completing the ritual.

I need my medication. Wanna go to a safe haven!

I can’t see anymore. I laugh and laugh and the world grows colorful and the music is lost on me and isn’t everything lost on everyone? I don’t even know! All I know is that I’ve been having the time of my life and that I never want it to end because if I have to go back to reality then that’ll be the worst thing ever because reality ***** it’s just a place where people go and die and in my state of UNREALITY I CAN NEVER DIE!

Call the doc, I must be sick. Better get me my medicine.*

I love unreality. Unreality is amazing. Unreality is a place far beyond my dreamland, where you become deliriously happy and the colors come inside you instead of just being around you and you wanna dance and you don’t even have to have justtherightmusic or justtherightstateofmind to visit. All you need is to have a little break from reality. How do you do that? It’s easy! Just don’t take your medicine for a long while, and start listening to some music, and cry for a while, and soon you’ll be happy go lucky hunky dory perfectly peachy just amazing~

And then somebody always has to take you back to reality.
