Lying to My Therapist
Navigating Shadows: Confessions to My Therapist
Lyrics
I'm lying to my therapist lying to my therapist
I am dishonest with my therapist, repeatedly.
She thinks I am an optimist
My therapist believes I have a positive outlook.
I think I need an exorcist
I feel like I need a spiritual cleansing.
She thinks I'm out there dating
Therapist assumes I'm actively dating.
But I'm at home isolating
I'm actually staying home in isolation.
Withholding information
I am deliberately not sharing certain details.
I don't want no medication
I resist taking any prescribed medication.
She might commit me
Concerns about being committed to a mental institution.
She might commit me
-She might commit me
-She might commit me
-I in my comfort zone
I am comfortable in my familiar environment.
When I am suffering alone
I endure suffering on my own.
I may be a surly cunt
Despite being difficult, I accept consequences.
But I pay the consequence up front
Acknowledging personal responsibility upfront.
Maybe I'm on the spectrum
Suggesting a possibility of being on the autism spectrum.
I ain't making no connections
I struggle to form meaningful connections.
I ain't picking up on social cues
Difficulty in understanding social cues.
I ain't laughing when I'm supposed to
Not reacting appropriately to social situations.
She might commit me
Repetition of the fear of being committed to a mental institution.
She might commit me
-She might commit me
-She might commit me
-Here lies the body of a female in her 40's
Describing a deceased woman, leaving possessions to pets.
A New York City refugee deceased in North Woodholly
-Survived by 5 cigarettes
-In a pack of American spirits
-Left her fortune to her cat and the duck
-She might commit me
Reiteration of the fear of being committed, with a plea to keep silent.
She might commit me
-(I gotta new my mouth shut)
-She might commit me
-(Oh no)
-She might commit me
-(Oh yeah)
-She might commit me
-She might commit me
-(I gotta keep that to myself)
-She might commit me
-She might commit me
-(My brain my brain my brain)
Expressing concern about the state of the speaker's mind.
