  • In the panopticon
    They never turn the cameras on
    The guards and the narcs went home
    "They do a fine enough job on their own"
    Your true self
    Oh, they'd love if you could find it
    Makes you much less hard work to predict
    One of these label's bound to fit

    Oh, identity
    Your milk white shadow
    Just try something that you wouldn't do
    And it's always one step ahead of you

    Mental health
    Mental health
    No one knows you like yourself
    You two should speak
    In the presence of a licensee

    This hallucination
    The cathedral in the prison
    Where the dreams of a citizen
    Can only tell you what is wrong with them
    Forgetting:
    The engine of civilization
    Coffee and a cigarette
    Found no better means of revolt yet
    Ah

    Mental health
    Mental health
    Maybe we're all far too well
    Mental health
    Mental health
    A less pathetic cry for help
    Mental health
    Mental health
    There's no higher virtue held
    In this crazy world
    It's more than a little bit absurd

    Oh, insanity
    Babe, it's indispensable
    For the true endeavor of your soul
    To find the edge and baby, go, go, go

    Oh, magic child
    Run, baby, run, baby, run, baby, run
    The one regret that's really pretty tough
    Is knowing I didn't go nearly far enough
    Oh, magic child
    This dream we're born inside
    Feels awful real sometimes
    But it's all in your mind Writer/s: Drew Erickson, Josh Tillman
