I am my own doctor
I take care of myself.
I know myself, I observe myself, and I hate myself.

I diagnose myself
Acute asshole-itis
Chronic nobodycares syndrome
Terminally ill with cancer of the soul.

My mother was a raging drunk
And now she's a bitter tyrant
Her fists are dictators
And my face is the population.

My father was a doped-up guitarist
And now he's a sleeping nobody in a grave.

I was a scared boy who cried himself to sleep every night
And now I am still a scared boy

900 milligrams.

The pills make her arms feel like rubber when they hit my face
The pills make me not hurt
When my head slams into the wall
