Ghost In The Machine

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Madchild] Hi Doc, my head's rocked, feel like I'm in a headlock I'm twisted up like a dreadlock, the visitor's door is deadlocked Surrounded by these padded walls, I had it all but lost it all Now I gotta get it back, but feel like I'm exhausted, dawg Wake up in the morning, there's a drill inside my brain It keeps drilling, drilling, drilling 'til it's killing me with pain Staring at the ceiling while I'm drooling, no more exercise They're tryin' to get me off these drugs by givin' me electrolytes I know I'm fuckin' up now 'cause I'm up in thе clouds while I'm stuck in the ground Shit from killer to puppеt to clown to a shark to a guppy, the best but I suck at it now Wow, wait, I am still great, sever your head 'cause it's never too late More clever than ever, the lever is greased Open the door, now let out the beast What if he breaks out of here but he's shakin' in fear 'Cause he wonders if people still care Used to use evil appearances, weapons he keep in his career, look deep in the mirror They know a freak when they see one, I cannot handle a rerun Worry about what I've begun, no questioning what I have become [Skit] You hear about things like hallucinations, starting to hear things or see things that aren't there that other people don't experience. Maybe developing false beliefs, thinking that other people are talking about you, thinking that maybe somebody's following you or going to hurt you But there are other symptoms of psychosis that are not always recognized as psychosis [Verse 2: Sean Strange] Yo, I get in your head and convince you to do what I feel Like kill everybody for real We makin' a murderer, you can return when I heal From all of the trauma and horror I lived through, no way that I'll ever forgive you I'll make you do shit you're not into 'til all of your family miss you Now tell me, do you believe in The Devil? I'll show you how real he could be Like makin' you shoot up a venue with every rapper that we should remove from the scene I got the power, how the fuck you plan to beat me? I'm controllin' your brain, reload it then aim right into your mouth, real easy The medication not workin' no more I'll turn your daughter born day into the birth of a whore All you can do is hope and pray I go away but you can never leave me The only way is when you're dead, I live forever, easy [Skit] So for example somebody could be high on drugs and show psychotic symptoms. Chemically induced. Right, chemically induced. There can be rare medical problems that can cause psychosis, like a brain tumor, for example Could cause a psychotic symptom. But the most common forms are schizophrenia and then sometimes mood disorders, such as bipolar, manic depression, or depression can have psychotic symptoms along with them [Verse 3: Swann] Strapped up in this room, I'm hearin' voices speakin' shit Up in this rubber room, electroshock ain't really doin' shit Sick and twisted mental thoughts embedded in my skin within This spell that I am under, I am beyond a weakened simpleton In this situation stuck, I'm fucked 'cause no one's listenin' Tellin' the same old stories, doctors say I'm speakin' fictional Screamin' down the hall, my voice, it echoes in the night so clear The drugs they keep on puttin' in my mind, feelin' there's someone here Try to block it out, can only focus on the shadows creepin' Spinnin' around in my head, I'm tryna escape these fuckin' inner demons They locked me up and threw away the key Sayin' I'm a danger to society, I am just who they made me be Patiently impatient waitin', shakin' in confusion All this palpitatin' rapidly, got multiple contusions I can't think straight but if they loosen my jacket I'ma retaliate My thoughts are stuck on vibrate, kill 'em all is my mind state [Outro: Randle McMurphy (Jack Nicholson)] What do you think you are, for Chrissake, crazy or somethin'? Well you're not! You're not! You're no crazier than the average asshole out walkin' around on the streets and that's it
