Afterthoughts - Spock's Beard

Voices ringing out

Voices all about…

They don’t think I thought this out

And they all think I should just fall in line

But that’s my plan to make them doubt

Keep my intentions cryptic by design

My ear pressed up against the wall

The footsteps coming down the hall

Is one more dosage all that I can take?

The implants underneath my skin

The altered state they keep me in

But they can’t win if I just stay awake

To keep them out I keep me in

Cause they don’t get to hear the things I know

While bats up in this belfry fly

In circles cause they don’t know where to go

Took me here and stripped me bare

Gave me this lovely robe to wear

And Tuesdays we get Jello if we’re good

The doctor he seems dense to me

His questions make no sense

Cause he misunderstands I’m just misunderstood

Voices ringing all about

Thoughts they scream don’t let them out

Thoughts they’re screaming out

Voices ringing all about

Thoughts they’re screaming out

Voices they are finally coming down

The voices like to scream and shout

I think my thoughts are finally coming down

They all say I’m crazy, I say 'ha'

Just like a fox but with dementia

By the way, on third thought

You shouldn’t open up that box that I sent ya

The hatter tips his hat to me

I’m madder than he’ll ever be

At least that’s what they’d like me to believe

A sedative won’t settle me

It’s all one big conspiracy

The message I begrudgingly receive
