Hospital For Heroes

(album: Wasted Mind - 2016)

Well I've been pissing in a cup for a couple of weeks
And not a single fucking one is an indictment of me
I'm like whoa-oh-oh
I'm like whoa-oh-oh
I told the scientists who visit 'bout the chemical drain
But nobody thinks I'm serious, they think I'm insane
I'm like whoa-oh-oh
I guess I just don't know
And so I'm sitting in this room and I'm hooked up on IV
And I've been watching everything on late night cable for free
Because whoa-oh-oh
There's nowhere to go
Sometimes I see a patient pass me by in the hall
And I can hear each of their thoughts but I don't like it all
Because I'm shut up in this cell and they won't turn off the lights
The brightest fucking darkness it feels like on most nights

Got super strength and ultra speed
That heightened consciousness I need

But everyone's all alone in the hospital for heroes
Everyone's all dethroned by the chemicals that bring them to zero
Everyone's all alone in the hospital for heroes
Everyone's all alone with their thoughts is all depressed for a year
So please won't you ease it?

Well I'd been pissing in a cup for a couple of weeks
Before they finally explain they couldn't find a disease
I'm like whoa-oh-oh
I guess it's time to go
But sure enough they said I couldn't leave and be free
Because my mind's too powerful for any society
I've got abilities their education can't understand
And their civic fucking duty's to be sure that I can't
Attack the government, their people, or their children, or their property,
So have a seat we'll figure it out

But immunity from pain or feeling
Joyful in spite of everyone weeping
Can't make us better, can't break us all out
We're in prison for life, that's what this song's about
Immunity, no pain, no feeling
Spiteful in spite of everyone weeping
Can make us better, might make us forget
That we're in this together 'bout time that we met

Cause everyone's all alone in the hospital for heroes
Everyone all dethroned by the chemical that brings them to zero
Everyone's all alone in the hospital for heroes
Everyone's all been told that their thoughts are all that's brought them to zero
Everyone's all alone in the hospital for heroes
Everyone's all alone with their thoughts is all depressed for a year
So please won't you ease it?
