Something weird happened to me this weekend
Once again I was placed in handcuffs
But this time they didn't offer me 60 years in prison
Instead they stuck me in a mental health institution
Staff was really nice, let them do their thing
Told them they need to have me out in 2 hours
And thats all I'm offering
Within 1:30 I kicked the door open and I ran
I ran and I ran and I ran
Thoughts flailing, when did hospitals become the
size of college campuses?
I ran and I ran and I ran
Finally made it to a city street
Hope the main intersection up ahead gives me the walk sign
I ran and I ran and I ran
Bear feet, no shirt just pajama pants
But I ran, haven't felt this free in so long
The adrenaline, the sweat, heart beating
takes me back to the time when I was about 15
Couple of friends and I were being chased by the cops
Jeremy A.K.A Dillinger, tall slinky kid
Leaped over the hood of a moving cop car
I remember thinking at the time "Holy Shit he
didn't just do that?"
That was to be my option if I get to this main intersection
and the walk sign eludes me
It's either that or end up road kill
Perhaps I am suicidal and should have stayed at the hospital
Walk sign is my friend and so I ran
But where am I going? Who am I gonna call?
They took my phone along with all my personal
belongings because they deemed me a danger to self
Right now Doctors, Nurses, Law Enforcement and hospitals
are the danger so I ran
Funny thing is sometimes what appears to be the worse day
of your life actually turns out to be the best thing for your future
And so I ran to the door of my future
You can make the ending anything you want
I just ask that you make it HAPPY!
