When you try to **** yourself They lock you up You’re a danger to yourself and others “We’re here to help” By helping they meant giving me medication Till I am a zombie No longer myself But a shell of who I used to be Why didn’t they notice all I needed was a hug Not to be stuck In these padded walls “They are only here to help you” But by helping they make me feel broken I am not normal I’ll never be normal I am broken so bad “Only we can fix you” They says that they’ll fix me But every time I feel Less and less of whom I used to be No worries in the world Just dirt on our knees But now we’re grown up And there is no turning back to the way I used to be.

Who I once was
When you try to **** yourself They lock you up You’re a danger to yourself and others “We’re here to help” By helping they meant giving me medication Till I am a zombie No longer myself But a shell of who I used to be Why didn’t they notice all I needed was a hug Not to be stuck In these padded walls “They are only here to help you” But by helping they make me feel broken I am not normal I’ll never be normal I am broken so bad “Only we can fix you” They says that they’ll fix me But every time I feel Less and less of whom I used to be No worries in the world Just dirt on our knees But now we’re grown up And there is no turning back to the way I used to be.
