sometimes i try to do things and it just doesn't work out the way i wanted too
and i get real frustrated, and it's like
and i try hard to do it and take my time
and it just doesn't work out the way i want it too
it's like i concentrate on it real hard but it just doesn't work out
and everything i do and everything i try, it never turns out
it's like i need time to figure these things out
but there's always someone there going
hey, you know, we've been noticing you've been having a lot of problems lately
you know, maybe you should get away, and like, maybe you should talk about it
you'll feel a lot better

and i go: no it's okay, you know, i'll figure it out
just leave me alone, i'll figure it out
you know, i'll just work on it myself
and they go: well you know if you want to talk about it i'll be here, you know
and you'll probably feel a lot better if you talk about it, so why don't you talk about it
and i go: no i don't want to, i'm okay, i'll figure it out myself
and they just keep bugging me
and they just keep bugging me
and it builds up inside

so i was in my room and i was just like, staring at the wall thinking about everything
but then again i was thinking about nothing
and then my mom came in and i didn't even know she was there, and she called my name
and i didn't even hear it, and then she started screaming: VOX! VOX!
and i go: what, what's the matter?
and she goes: what's the matter with YOU?
i go: there's nothing wrong mom
and she goes: don't tell me that, you're on DRUGS!
and i go: no mom i'm not on drugs, i'm okay, i was just thinking, you know
why don't you get me a pepsi

and she goes: NO! YOU'RE ON DRUGS!
i go: mom i'm okay, i'm just thinking
she goes: NO! you're not thinking, you're on DRUGS! normal people don't act that way!
i go: mom just get me a pepsi, please
all i want is a pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me
all i wanted was a pepsi, just one pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me
JUST A PEPSI!

so i was just sitting in my room and my mom and dad came in
and they pulled up a chair and they sat down, they go:
vox, we need to talk to you
and i go: okay, what's the matter
they go: me and your mom have been noticing lately that you've been having a lot of problems
you've been going off for no reason and we're afraid you're gonna hurt somebody
we're afraid you're gonna hurt yourself
so we decided that it would be in your interest if we put you somewhere
where you could get the help that you need

and i go: wait, what are you talking about, WE decided!?
MY best interest? how do you know what MY best interest is?
how can you say what MY best interest is? what are you trying to say, I'M crazy?
when i went to YOUR schools, i went to YOUR churches?!
i went to YOUR institutional learning facilities?! so how can you say I'M crazy?

they say they're gonna fix my brain
alleviate my suffering and my pain
but by the time they fix my head
mentally i'll be dead

it doesn't matter, i'll probably get hit by a car anyway
