Balance Beam from Mirror Mirror by Malloy

Verse 1:

One person’s craziness, another’s reality
But assuming you’re crazy’s a logical fallacy
Cuz if you’re questioning, second guessing your sanity
You’re probably fine, but oh, goddamn it can be
Deceiving, believing you’re losing your fucking senses
That type of shit will leave a sane man senseless
That type of shit will make a smart man dense, it’s
A feelin I can’t describe, but it feels stupendous!
Naw I’m just playin, it’s like hell come to earth
It’s like you’re unsure if you’re head’s gone berserk
So you ask for reassurance but the more that you go there
The more it takes over so you think “I should go where
People like that have to go, there’s no choices”
All your life you liked to make noise, now you’re voiceless
So hop in the SUV, let’s take a quick ride
Let’s take a journey and see a bit of the sick side!


Verse 2:

The places you’ll go, and the people you’ll meet,
The faces you’ll know won’t be glowing with glee
The people inside they all wanna be free,
So they lookin at you like you weird and a freak
For choosing to come there and choosin to join,
Choosin to lose all your freedom and “Boy,
What the hell’s wrong with you? You ain’t the same
As the rest of us here, I mean you ain’t deranged.
You ain’t a threat to yourself or society”
But you think you are so you nod along quietly
Thinking you’re hiding unspeakable secrets
Really it’s nothing but you cannot feel it
Accurately cuz your mind’s playin tricks
So you sit with the rest and you stay in the mix
You can’t explain what your issue could be
Cuz whenever you try to you sound like you need
Immediate assistance, which puts em on guard
You meet with resistance as if you were scarred
Trying to figure what’s wrong with your mind
When everything triggers you, I’m doin fine!
Feeling like I’ll stay this way, forever!
Me and my brain, we stay, together!
That is the problem, I wanna remove it
From these intrusive thoughts that I’m screwed with
Naggin at me like a smell that is putrid
Well it’s elusive and that is some true shit
At this point I’m used to it, feelin confused a bit
Actually a lot, cuz at this point I’m losin my wit
One person’s craziness, another’s reality
Guess I’m the other one in that analogy
Logical fallacies keep tryna challenge me,
Edge of insanity, stuck on that balance beam
