about

this song is about my decision to stop taking ADD medication and how i thought it would be liberating (i have since gotten back on them, turns out they also help with anxiety? whoda thunk it.)

lyrics

i saw myself in another life an active ray of light shining through shining through shining through you are the only thing that checks my impulsivity when the static overwhelms me and there’s nothing i can do i felt your magnets press against my body and i felt their energy encompass growing out growing clean you can sedate me but i promise to fight back as i regained control i felt cool but never mean there is a price to pay for those who can’t decide whether their allegiance lies with body or with mind but i decline i will stand up for whats mine, no you won’t get the better of me i could be piercing and i could be dangerous i could be anything that i want to be but i am trapped inside my mind and i feel that i am running out of time to be where i need to get to doctor and teacher and parents says it’s fine to let go sometimes when you need to make the sacrifice but i am out of luck and out of time, this time, i will get what’s mine i will take back my mind there is a price to pay for those who can’t decide whether their allegiance lies ahead or behind but i decline i will stand up for whats mine, no you won’t get the better of me and you wont take me back or hear from me again oh no oh no
