Lyrics

Headcase

There's madness in your eyes
And you don't even know
I think you've lost the plot
I think it's time to go
And get some help
What do you mean?
I'm feeling great
Just look at the smile on my face
No time to sleep
No time to concentrate
I'm just living like a headcase
Can you please just sit down?
Why can't you take a pause?
Let's count down from ten
There's no one at the door
It's just the wind
Are you sure?
I'm not convinced
Please check again
I think they're here
I need to sleep
I need to concentrate
Help me!
I'm living like a headcase
It's over now, little boy
You can relax
And be yourself
But don't forget how to ask for help
Headcase
Headcase
Headcase
Headcase
And if you feel it's coming back
Don't be afraid
Just think about everything that you've been through
Headcase
Headcase
Headcase
Headcase
It's nothing personal
And you've done nothing wrong
It feels unnatural
And it can make you strong
Look at me
I used to be a headcase
Believe me
If I can make it back from the edges of insanity
The center of attack
So can you
And you can be a headcase too
Headcase
Headcase
Headcase
Headcase
