Mental
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's like I'm dressed up in my mother's clothing
It's like I'm talking to a voice that doesn't exist
It's like I got a wire crossed upstairs
But all I want is just a little truth and thats it
They say I'm mental but I'm just confused
Thay say I'm mental but I've been abused
They say I'm mental cause I'm not amused by it all
Another anchor man is on the t.v
He's got that far away and vacant look in his eyes
I turn the channel but nothing is changing
The only truth is that everything's a lie
They say I'm mental but I'm just confused
Thay say I'm mental but I've been abused
They say I'm mental cause I'm not amused by it all
There's truth in everything
There's truth in lies
With all this knowledge
I think I'm gonna be wise
They say I'm mental but I'm just confused
Thay say I'm mental but I've been abused
They say I'm mental cause I'm not amused by it all
Not at all
Not at all
