Diagnoses

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Me and you and our diagnoses A perfect match in a bag of explosives Catch of the day in a toxic ocean Nothing wrong with us, it's the world that's broken Two tokens short of the rollercoaster Ancient conditions With brand new solutions In the old days they'd be doing ablutions I'd be a prophet and you'd be a seer Or you'd be a healer, I'd be a freak Run away with the circus Then we'd meet after work for a barrel of beer, yeah [Verse 2] Me and you and our diagnoses All cosied up but it's hard to focus Me and you and our trauma flashbacks Relaxing at home with a hornet's backpack Stuffed full of my dysphoria Your dyspraxia, off exploring Panic attacks to get the heart rate up Good cardio-vascular, will get back to ya afterwards Short psychotic episode If I even leave the house I'll forget to close the door I'll forget what I went out for And come back with a random object or four Quetiapine, lamotrigine, fluoxetine You'll wash it down with Listerine I've never felt so at home Since methylphenidate and testosterone [Chorus] C-PTSD, ADHD, OCD and PMDD Anxious attachment, TBI But it's the world that's sick, baby, we're alright C-PTSD, ADHD, anxiety Bipolar, addiction, neurodivergence I'd be more worried if we weren't disturbed [Verse 3] We got our own alphabet Big bunch of letters between you and I It's the right response to a world gone wrong And we're getting on just fine Me and you and our diagnoses Out for a wander with coffee and oatmilk The posher the roastery, the more you want it Cause you came from nothing And you're out for the summit [Verse 4] So we go hard but it's softly, softly And we're so scarred but it's not a problem There's a lot of good reasons to stop what we're doing But my disassociation means I've forgotten, hah I'm overwhelmed and over diagnosed And overexposed, I suppose With all these letters we're dragging around It's lucky I turned that MBE down We just take it day by day Staying doesn't mean you never want to run away It means you weather it Whether it's pleasure every minute Or a bit of hard graft, grin hold fast [Chorus] C-PTSD, ADHD, OCD and PMDD Anxious attachment, TBI It's the world that's sick, baby, we're alright C-PTSD, ADHD, anxiety Bipolar, addiction, neurodivergence I'd be more worried if we weren't disturbed
