Diagnoses

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, just the world is broken
Two tokens short of the roller coaster
Ancient conditions, but 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 runaway with the circus and
We'd meet after work for a barrel of beer
Yeah
Me and you and our diagnoses, all cozied up but it's hard to focus
Me and you and our trauma flashbacks, relaxing at home with a
Horlicks backpack stuffed full of my dysphoria, your dyspraxia
Off exploring, panic attacks to get
The heart rate up, good cardiovascular
We'll get back to you after a 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 to a four
Quetiapine, Lamotrigine, Fluoxetine, you wash it down with Listerine
I've never felt so at home since methylphenidate and testosterone
C-PTSD, ADHD, OCD and PMDD, anxious attachment TBI
But it's the world that's sick, baby, we're all right
C-PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, addiction, neuro
Divergence, I'd be more worried if we weren't disturbed
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, it's coffee and oat milk
The posher the roastery, the more you want it 'cause
You came from nothing and you're out for the summit
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
Overwhelmed and over-diagnosed and over-exposed, 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
Wanna run away, it means you weather it, whether it's pleasure
Every minute or a bit of hard graft, dig in, hold fast
C-PTSD, ADHD, OCD and PMDD, anxious attachment TBI
It's the world that's sick, baby, we're all right
C-PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, addiction, neuro
Divergence, I'd be more worried if we weren't disturbed
