1. Self Medication

Do I need a shrink or an exorcist?
All these wounds are self imposed
Lines up your arm like a list
Scars on your body that turn and twist

Numb to pain, numb to feeling, the depression is gripping tight around you
Numb to pain, numb to feeling, the depression is blowing kisses right at you

Blood, panic, scars, addiction
People can think it’s all fiction
Blood, panic, scars, addiction
People can say it’s all fiction
Blood, panic, scars, addiction
It’s our calm to the storms in our heads affliction

Blood, panic, scars, addiction
People can think it’s fiction
Blood, panic, scars, addiction
People can say it’s fiction
Blood, panic, scars, addiction
It’s our calm to the storms in our heads affliction

Do I need a shrink or an exorcist?
When wounds are self imposed
Grimace face and clenching fist
Trickling blood pressure released

Blood, panic, scars, addiction
People can think it’s all fiction
Blood, panic, scars, addiction
People can say it’s all fiction
Blood, panic, scars, addiction
It’s our calm to the storms in our heads affliction Blood, panic, scars, addiction

People can think it’s all fiction

2 Mania

Feel the electricity you conduct
Like a racing car flashing by
Leaving a jet stream in the sky
A thousand miles an hour
Soaring high, where the eagles fly

When you’re talking with your friends
No one can keep up with the topics you change
Ten different stories all rolled into one
Where does this energy and expression come from

Mania, mania, mania is it a good day for ya?
Mania, mania, mania is it the right way for ya?
Mania, mania, mania you listenin’ to what I gotta say to ya?

Mania, mania, mania is it a good day for ya?
Mania, mania, mania is it the right way for ya?
Mania, mania, mania you listenin’ to what I gotta say to ya?

***Musical Interlude and riffs and shit***

3 Antipsychotics 

Walking passed people on my way to town, thinking they are all looking at me.
Voices in my head chattering away, I don’t understand what they are saying to me

Antipsychotic’s are saving me
I’m sinking into the pits of paranoia and psychosis
Antipsychotics restore my focus
Antipsychotics restore my focus
Antipsychotics restore my focus

Tune your head into the colours and the waves sounds
Put your ear to the ground and listen to the cheers of the crowd

Antipsychotic’s are saving me
I’m sinking into the pits of paranoia and psychosis
Antipsychotics restore my focus
Antipsychotics restore my focus
Antipsychotics restore my focus

4 The Psychiatrist 

Doctor of the mind
Welcome to mine, I hope you like what you find, it’s definitely one of a kind
Unique, different than all the others
It’s consumed by chaos, hidden under covers

Please let me remind you
Textbooks will only guide through
Are you observing the truth or are you being lied to?
The mind named itself, it gave everything a name, are you just part of its game?

Delving inside the insane
Delving inside the brain
Delving inside the insane
Delving inside the brain

Thoughts become lessons taught
Semblance to stability sought
Eternal battle with yourself fought
Chasing your sanity that eludes to be caught

Delving inside the insane
Delving inside the brain
Delving inside the insane
Delving inside the brain

Delving inside the insane
Delving inside the brain
Delving inside the insane
Delving inside the brain

Delving inside the insane
Delving inside the brain
Delving inside the insane
Delving inside the brain

5 Sorted out for SSRIs 

Oh, is this the way they say I’m meant to feel?
Is my happiness found when I’m walking through a field?
I don't understand these lows and highs
Never mind ‘cos I’m sorted out for SSRIs

And tell me when the comedown lands
It’ll probably arrive without any sounds
Oh, in the middle of the night
It feels alright, but then tomorrow morning
Oh, oh, then you come down

Oh yeah, hot sweats wearing your dressing gown
Your head is empty like a Ghost Town
Oh, and no-one seems to know why it is
They’re giving out these SSRIs to all the kids

In the middle of the night
Normality is very, very far away
In the middle of the night
Sleep is a fight, but then tomorrow morning
Oh, oh, then you come down

Prozac, Cipramil, Priligy, Lustral, Seroxat, Faverin, Cipralex and Brintellix

Prozac, Cipramil, Priligy, Lustral, Seroxat, Faverin, Cipralex and Brintellix

In the middle of the night
It feels alright, but then tomorrow morning
Oh, oh, then you come down
Oh, oh, then you come down
Oh, what if you never come down?

In the middle of the night
It feels alright, but then tomorrow morning
Oh, oh, then you don’t come down
Oh, oh, then you don’t come down
Oh, what if you don’t come down?

6 Psychosis 

7 The Art of Depression 

Hallelujah (kiss the sky)
Hallelujah (kiss the sky)
Hallelujah (kiss the sky)
The sound of silence echoes by
Darkness is questioning you why
Head on the devils shoulder you begin to cry

Numb to pain, numb to lie
Immunity from any emotional tie
Dropping into the oblivion, sigh sigh sigh
Dark and silent the deepest high

Hallelujah (kiss the sky)
Hallelujah (kiss the sky)
Hallelujah (kiss the sky)
The sound of silence echoes by
Darkness is questioning you why
Head on the devils shoulder you begin to cry

Right back to the Dawn of day
Darkness is talking to you, a lot to say
Forcing sleep now, it’s the only way
To get me away from this painful day

Hallelujah (kiss the sky)
Hallelujah (kiss the sky)
Hallelujah (kiss the sky)
The sound of silence echoes by
Darkness is questioning you why
Head on the devils shoulder you begin to cry

8 Lithium 

Sitting on a train with empty pain
Voices in my head keep me sane
Take this potion and swim an ocean
Ride the chaos and commotion

Today I met my friends, they’re in my head
In my head
Today I got the benz, laying in my bed
In my bed

Today I met my friends, they’re in my head
In my head
Today I got the benz, laying in my bed
In my bed

Start your walk to stabilise your thought
Reality is now yours to sought
Race is on for it to be caught
Light at the end of the tunnel for which you’ve fought

Today I met my friends, they’re in my head
In my head
Today I got the benz, laying in my bed
In my bed

Slowly getting perceptions in line
Normality arrives, it’s about time
Clear of conscious, it’s a sign
Hold your head up high, doing fine

Today I met my friends, they’re in my head
In my head
Today I got the benz, laying in my bed
In my bed

Today I met my friends, they’re in my head
In my head
Today I got the benz, laying in my bed
In my bed

9 Hibernating Insomniac 

Wide awake asleep in bed
Chaos run around your head
Tossing and turning every way
Sleep eludes you however you lay

Sleeping all day to fall asleep again
The only problem is you can’t pick when
Head wide awake but it’s contents broken
Sleep provides escape but it’s only a small token

Can’t sleep, won’t sleep
Now sleeping for a week
One minute sleep plays hide and seek
The next it’s it’s yours to keep

Can’t sleep, won’t sleep
Now sleeping for a week
One minute sleep plays hide and seek
The next it’s it’s yours to keep

One stormy, sleepless, lonely night
One sleep filled, silent, dreamy night
Opposites don’t attract they fight
Complete darkness or shining light

Can’t sleep, won’t sleep
Now sleeping for a week
One minute sleep plays hide and seek
The next it’s it’s yours to keep

Can’t sleep, won’t sleep
Now sleeping for a week
One minute sleep plays hide and seek
The next it’s it’s yours to keep

Living with Bipolar Disorder: My Bipolar Music Album 💿

I’ve not quite finished my album yet but here’s what I have done so far. I’m well aware it isn’t going platinum anytime soon. Any comments welcome, constructive criticism welcomed with open arms, suggestions observations and thoughts about it would be brilliant for me to hear. Absolutely no tolerance for vindictive, malicious or anything disrespectful and not needed. Being a full time cunt is a tiring hobby to have, smiling is much easier. I don’t know why more people don’t do it ☺️

Sleeping all day to fall asleep again

Writing an Album About Bipolar Disorder 💿 📝

The album is called “Bipolar” and it is ten tracks long. I’ve so far established all the song titles, written two songs that are below and made a start on another three. It’s a work in progress and I’m under no illusions that it will ever rival Rumours by Fleetwood Mac but it’s therapeutic.

Ode to Oasis 🎸🎼

I’m a massive, massive Oasis fan. So in appreciation of their music and how it has been an inspiration to me in so many ways, I’ve put this together. Live Forever x

Don’t Look Back in Anger

Some might say they don’t believe in heaven. Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell. Take the time to make some sense of what you want to say and cast your words away upon the waves. Bound with all the weight of all the words you tried to say. Chained to all the places that you never wished to stay. Maybe you will never be all the things that you wanna be. Now is not the time to cry. Now’s the time to find out why. All this confusion. Nothing’s the same to you. But I can’t tell you the way you feel. You need to be yourself, you can’t be no one else. You could wait for a lifetime, to spend your days in the sunshine. You might as well do the white line. Cos when it comes on top . . .You gotta make it happen! I don’t know, I don’t care. All I know is you can take me there. So what would you say if I said to you, It’s not in what you say it’s in what you do? You point the finger at me but I don’t believe. It’s better people love one another. ‘Cause livin’ your life can be tough!
