Somehow I knew in the cold cyber night
One day I'd visit a grave site...
Cast in a cold light
Eyes that evade
Trapped in a cruel world
Faults on parade
Somehow I knew...
Somehow I knew...
Exiled spirit
Troubled outcast
Future in doubt
Long and tortured past
Somehow I knew...
Somehow I knew...
chorus:
No sailing off into the cyber sea
No editing of your icon
No hyperlink from reality
No makeituntrue.com
Somehow I knew in the cold cyber night
One day I'd visit a grave site...
Cold-hearted people
Eyes that find fault
Relentless laughter
Daily assault
Somehow I knew...
Somehow I knew...
Broken and battered
Spirit war-torn
Raging inside
Like a North Sea storm
Somehow I knew...
Somehow I knew...
(chorus)
bridge:
It's a haunted message board
You're a frozen cyber ghost
Sometimes I return
And reread your final post
Searching for a clue
That would have made it all untrue...
(chorus)
PSYCHIATRY AT GUNPOINT
You will not let us fix it
You will not let me out
I try to break away
And like a baby you just pout
Therapy's a no go
It's an acid to your pride
I try to leave you gently
And you threaten suicide
I know it's controversial
And lacking peer review
It reeks of desperation
But what else am I to do?
chorus:
Psychiatry at gunpoint
Let me line up our first session
Psychiatry at gunpoint
With a licensed Smith & Wesson
Attendance, though essential,
Remains wholly confidential
Guaranteed
We don't share any interests
We move in separate spheres
Keep conflicting schedules
Incompatible careers
You know we have no future
But won't let me move on
I tell you but you won't accept
My love for you is gone
I know it's controversial
And lacking peer review
My professional credentials
Hang there helpless against you
(chorus)
You seem to willfully embrace
This constant air of tension
As skillfully you bob and weave
Attempts at intervention
You won't accept my counsel
Shun all suggested treatment
What did you think would happen
Living years in disagreement?
(chorus)
