[Verse 1]
From Egyptian “Book of Hearts”
Up to the modern DSM
We were once lumped with social dissidents
My lunar citizens
Dismissing all of our significance
Don’t need a weatherman
To know the whirlwind is blowing
And the center is my zen
Driven mad in Sophocles
A god given hypocrisy
Attributed by Socrates
“The manic art of prophecy”
The mystical initiations
And poetic inspiration
Even heard hallucinations
Daemonic association
Pythagoras, Euripides
The madness of a Heracles
Divinely wrought, so verily
Approach the subject warily
Scourging once a therapy
Bloodletting, a disparity
An obvious barbarity
Not finished necessarily
A psychotropic legacy
I’ve overstayed my tenancy
Occasional dependency
Avoided unsuccessfully
I don’t pray for serenity
Defer to psychochemistry
Though often independently
I’m mindful influentially
[Chorus]
Asylum, madhouse, institution
Same avoidance of solution
Lock 'em up, mental pollution
Could inspire revolution
Neuro-normative, the masses
Prolly couldn't bear the weight
Endure the storm until it passes
Lunar kingdom iterate
A sordid page of history
And they perpetuate, eschew
Agenda contradictory
Erase through medicate, cuz you
Don't really know what crazy is
Until you have no choice to live it
Your assumption, laziness
And proof that you don't fuckin get it
[Verse 2]
Straightjackets and rubber rooms
"They’re coming to take me away"
It used to be a funny tune
Until I learned it wasn’t play
Regardless routine will resume
As long as we don't give away
The secrets that could quick consume
In exponential thought decay
Molecular, the symbiosis
Some were born on overdoses
Serotonin and psychosis
Psychonaut, and chemognosis
I'm a focus on phenomenology
Psychology has gotta see
A greater vision
Of mental ecology
An oddity until you see
The clues hidden through history
Such symbolism, mystery
It brought you to bewitchery
With Fae the radhe around your head
A fungal sacrament was fed
And many live where you were led
Their surface is your riverbed
The Otherkin are wannabes
I wannabe quite clear you see
A mystery I bitterly
Perpetuate so lit'rlly
A simple synchronicity
Does not achieve periphery
The razor sharp simplicity
Another Occam’s victory
[Chorus]
Asylum, madhouse, institution
Same avoidance of solution
Lock 'em up, mental pollution
Could inspire revolution
Neuro-normative, the masses
Prolly couldn't bear the weight
Endure the storm until it passes
Lunar kingdom iterate
A sordid page of history
And they perpetuate, eschew
Agenda contradictory
Erase through medicate, cuz you
Don't really know what crazy is
Until you have no choice to live it
Your assumption, laziness
And proof that you don't fuckin get it
[Verse 3]
Internalize mythology
To break your ideology
You think you got monopoly
On most of my neurology
I question methodology
Of ECT lobotomy
This prodigy’s apology
Not trying for camaraderie
Psychiatric ‘valuations
Led into a conversation
I ain’t lookin for damnation
Just a little medication
Seroquel to Depakote
Lamictyl not a stethoscope
Turn down a mind that’s too awoke
And cloak the insight never spoke
Even with precociousness
Still could face the homelessness
Drowning in the hopelessness
Motionless my openness
Inspiring ferociousness
Alternative? emotionless
And all they see is brokenness
In all of my outspokenness
But still I know I'm livin' in
A constant state of givin' in
It's why I'm gettin' pissed again
Until I'm only thinkin'
I’m a second class of citizen
I’ve given up on fittin' in
The judgements that I’m swimmin in?
The militance of simpletons...
[Chorus]
Asylum, madhouse, institution
Same avoidance of solution
Lock 'em up, mental pollution
Could inspire revolution
Neuro-normative, the masses
Prolly couldn't bear the weight
Endure the storm until it passes
Lunar kingdom iterate
A sordid page of history
And they perpetuate, eschew
Agenda contradictory
Erase through medicate, cuz you
Don't really know what crazy is
Until you have no choice to live it
Your assumption, laziness
And proof that you don't fuckin get it
[Chorus repeated]
Asylum, madhouse, institution
Same avoidance of solution
Lock 'em up, mental pollution
Could inspire revolution
Neuro-normative, the masses
Prolly couldn't bear the weight
Endure the storm until it passes
Lunar kingdom iterate
A sordid page of history
And they perpetuate, eschew
Agenda contradictory
Erase through medicate, cuz you
Don't really know what crazy is
Until you have no choice to live it
Your assumption, laziness
And proof that you don't fuckin get it
