Straitjacket - Raleigh Ritchie

Hold me for a minute

I’m just that far away

From being considered

Clinically insane

I need your attention

Affection is my way

Out of the danger zone

I feel no lightness

Days like this are priceless

Given myself licence to indulge in all my vices

Woah, don’t go

Withdrawal is my soul

Weakness, I’m cold

Smoke draws

Smoke blows from my nose

And keeps me warm

I know where I’m going

I’ve seen limbo before

Straight jacket

Put on my straight jacket

I’m on a different planet

Let it go, don’t panic

I’m fine

Can’t hack it

My mind is at it again

I’m manic, I’m manic

Straight jacket

Put on my straight jacket

I’m on a different planet

Let it go, don’t panic

I’m fine

Can’t hack it

My mind is at it again

I’m manic, I’m manic

Split right down the middle

And half of me is fine

My mind is a riddle

Typical Gemini

Star signs are my excuse

To hide this type of self abuse

I feel no lightness

Days like this are priceless

Given myself licence to indulge in all my vices

Please don’t mind me

I’m on borrowed time

It’s space I need to validate my life

I wanna roll with the punches

Go rouge, programming

Change no I don’t want it

Wanna break out

No I put my straightjacket on

And go home

I don’t wanna be here no more

I don’t wanna go

Straight jacket

Put on my straight jacket

I’m on a different planet

Let it go, don’t panic

I’m fine

Can’t hack it

My mind is at it again

I’m manic, I’m manic

Straight jacket

Put on my straight jacket

I’m on a different planet

Let it go, don’t panic

I’m fine

Can’t hack it

My mind is at it again

I’m manic, I’m manic

The devil’s in my head

Stirring up a mess

Taking advantage of my unsteadiness

My readiness for death

The vans are pulling up

Fuck if I know why

I’m hearing cuckcoo clocks

I’m seeing angels in the sky

The war is almost started

The cavalry’s on time

Fight amongst the foot soldiers

But the war is in my mind

The war is in my mind

Straight jacket

Straight jacket

Straight jacket

Don’t panic

Straight jacket

Straight jacket

Don’t want it
