Holding On
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.
When the voices in your head
Get promoted to trusted friends
When the medication
Just leads to better
Hallucinations
When everybody frowns at you
But you always smile back
Well at least you seem happy
You must be on the right track
You must keep holding on
No matter what you do
I know the others say to let go
Fuck em
They dont know you
And whats the harm
In holding on
When its all you got
All you have left
When the voices in your head
Starting inviting their own friends
When the medication
Just mixes well
With inebriation
When everybody smiles at you
But you always frown back
Well if youre that unhappy
You must be on the right track
You must keep holding on
We live in a world
Of cowboys, Indians and terrorists
Its a right wing shooting club
Of course you need a therapist
But youre no more fucked up
Than the rest of us
Just resist
