lyrics

I suffer from chemical imbalances in my brain
Suffer being the keyword or phrase
Manic depression and bipolar disease
Haunt me every hour every day, even when I sleep

I dream each night about fingers wrapped tightly around my neck
Am I more afraid of life than I am of death?
That's a question I've been asking every day since 7th grade
And I fear I may not have an answer until I'm alone in my own grave

So call me pessimistic for not seeing silver linings in the clouds
At least I'm not making them up when none can be found
Because that, I feel, is our culture's worst disease
Creating fake solutions to ease the oppressed that are praying on our knees
Ease the oppressed that are praying on our knees
Ease the oppressed that are praying on our knees
Ease the oppressed that are praying, saying
Please, can no one stop this?
Can no one bring my silver lining back?
All that I can do is inform people of problems in our path
And hope that one day they know just what I mean
When I say our mental illnesses can't be cured by another pharmacy

Because I dream each night about fingers wrapped tightly around my neck
Am I more afraid of life than I am of death?
That's a question I've been asking ever since I was 13
And I fear I may not have an answer until eternal rest has got a hold of me
Eternal rest has got a hold of me
Eternal rest has got a hold of me
I fear I may not find an answer so I best forget and give into my dreams
