Somehow I knew in the cold cyber night

One day I'd visit a grave site...

Cast in a cold light

Eyes that evade

Trapped in a cruel world

Faults on parade

Somehow I knew...

Exiled spirit

Troubled outcast

Future in doubt

Long and tortured past

Somehow I knew...

chorus:

No sailing off into the cyber sea

No editing of your icon

No hyperlink from reality

No makeituntrue.com

Somehow I knew in the cold cyber night

One day I'd visit a grave site...

Cold-hearted people

Eyes that find fault

Relentless laughter

Daily assault

Somehow I knew...

Broken and battered

Spirit war-torn

Raging inside

Like a North Sea storm

Somehow I knew...

(chorus)

bridge:

It's a haunted message board

You're a frozen cyber ghost

Sometimes I return

And reread your final post

Searching for a clue

That would have made it all untrue...

(chorus)

PSYCHIATRY AT GUNPOINT

You will not let us fix it

You will not let me out

I try to break away

And like a baby you just pout

Therapy's a no go

It's an acid to your pride

I try to leave you gently

And you threaten suicide

I know it's controversial

And lacking peer review

It reeks of desperation

But what else am I to do?

chorus:

Psychiatry at gunpoint

Let me line up our first session

Psychiatry at gunpoint

With a licensed Smith & Wesson

Attendance, though essential,

Remains wholly confidential

Guaranteed

We don't share any interests

We move in separate spheres

Keep conflicting schedules

Incompatible careers

You know we have no future

But won't let me move on

I tell you but you won't accept

My love for you is gone

I know it's controversial

And lacking peer review

My professional credentials

Hang there helpless against you

(chorus)

You seem to willfully embrace

This constant air of tension

As skillfully you bob and weave

Attempts at intervention

You won't accept my counsel

Shun all suggested treatment

What did you think would happen

Living years in disagreement?

(chorus)
