Too sane to be insane

*loosely based on my favourite movie, "Girl Interrupted" a song. *

I just lost my sanity
And I don’t really care
losing your mind
isn’t all that rare

Emotional maturity
is so overrated
metal stability
can be so complicated

So why
try and fight it back
why
hold onto something that will slip out of your grasp
why
not just let go and let it happen
better sooner than later

So bring out the guns and the little pink pills
The false moustaches and fake Ids
change the dates on your calendar
so your living in two weeks time

Start seeing the people that don’t exist
Tell total strangers you’ve met them before
make up your new best friend
coz no one wants to kick around with a Looney tune
Oh no
Your a loner now, a loser now, a psychotic emotional wreck, locked up in some damn institute

Guess you were too sane to be insane.

Now your trying to convince the people
That your mind is fine
and your perfectly normal
you just need a little time

but they found you talking
to a very nice guy
who goes by the name
of Thin Air

Now your sharing with a guy
who’s committed suicide twenty eight times
and a girl who eats her own face
you try your hardest to convince yourself
that you’re nothing like them
but your in the same insane asylum.

So bring out the guns and the little pink pills
The false moustaches and fake Ids
change the dates on your calendar
so your living in two weeks time

You’re with like minded people now
who live their lives and don’t know how
you're surrounded by sympathetic souls
In big white overcoats
with their intelligence tests
their smiling faces that are just too good to be true
who claim all they wanna do is help you

guess you were too sane to be insane.
