Outsider

In the hospital of freaks, I'm still a psycho 
Because if you can see things that no one else can, it means you should be a part of a freak show
But anything that's true about schizophrenia is something you wouldn't know

I don't wear headphones when I'm alone because I don't want anyone to accidentally hear what I'm listening to
Or because its something I just normally do

I do it because the voices. Never. Stop.

I don't sleep in the corner so I can see the room because I'm afraid that the monsters will get me
I do it because I've seen more than I ever wanted to see

I guess you could say I'm a bit like Edgar Allan Poe
But the things that I write aren't just for show

When I can't sleep because I'm in my thoughts too deep, the real world fades away and new one appears
And in that world, I sometimes stay for what feels like years

I can leave, never to return
But all of you have to stay here, only to watch this world burn
