Bilingual
I can't explain the ache
So I just sit and nod
The room is white
The doctor's coat is white
It's all so clean
He doesn't look at me
He's staring at a screen
I'm trying to explain the damage done
The phantom limb
He just types my words into a cold algorithm
Five minutes for my soul
He's got a quota he has to meet
He says my brain is just a wire with a chemical receipt
He hands me paper
Says this ought to make it stop
Just another perfect product from the happiness shop
I traded fire for a frozen lake
This isn't healing
It's a chemical mistake
They gave me pills to paint my gray skies white
Just turn it off
But they just killed the shadows and the light
This is the numb prescription
The civilized abuse
Just another perfect
Porcelain excuse
I'm functional again
I'm better
I'm repaired
I am the walking proof that somebody cared
I walk through life behind a pane of frosted glass
The highs are gone
The lows are gone
The feelings never last
I'm a ghost in a machine
A battery-powered corpse
I don't remember what my own authentic sadness was
At least the chaos
It was mine
At least the fire
It was real
Now I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to feel
I traded fire for a frozen lake
This isn't healing
It's a chemical mistake
They gave me pills to paint my gray skies white
It's not my light
But they just killed the shadows and the light
This is the numb prescription
The civilized abuse
Just another perfect
Porcelain excuse
I'd rather feel the pain
I'd rather feel the burn
I'd rather feel the love even though it hurts
Give me back my scars
It's the only thing I've earned
I want to feel
I traded fire for a frozen lake
This isn't healing
It's a chemical mistake
They gave me pills to paint my gray skies white
Just turn it off
But they just killed the shadows and the light
This is the numb prescription
The civilized abuse
Just another perfect
Porcelain excuse
I traded fire for a frozen lake
It's a mistake
This isn't healing
It's a chemical mistake
They gave me pills to paint my gray skies white
Give me back my light
But they just killed the shadows and the light
Give me my light
This is the numb prescription
The civilized abuse
No more excuse
Just another perfect
Porcelain excuse
