maybe I’m the one
maybe I’m the one
who is the schizophrenic psycho

I feel my heart rise through my throat every time the beats for this song start playing on the radio.

Schizophrenia and psychosis are two mental conditions that apply to multiple members of my immediate family. Severe depression and anxiety are also present.

The people who write (and sing to) these sorts of songs don’t know what those words mean. To them, they’re simply a stand in for “Angry Mean Bad Crazy Person.”

Those people can fuck right off.
