Brain Tumor Blues

I once severed time behind the open jaws of hell
With shutter vision strobin' through the window of my cell
Pines provide a place to hide my mutilated scream
I just woke up in another dream

Can you help me through
These brain tumor blues?
Thinkin’ normal's somethin' I can’t do
Please help me through
These brain tumor blues
I'm goin' down the old familiar road
Back to you

I couldn't fake a prison break, my confidence was dead
Terrified, effeminate, if only in my head
I've been criticized, depersonalized, and high it broke my heart
I know that it's not easy bein' smart

Can you help me through
These brain tumor blues?
Thinkin' normal’s somethin’ I can't do
Please help me through
These brain tumor blues
I’m goin' down the old familiar road
Back to you

Do you think I'm not embarrassed?
Oh, I know that something's wrong
You might not understand it
But one day we’ll both be gone
And you know what's killing me?
The distance in between

Can you help me through
These brain tumor blues?
Thinkin' normal's somethin' I can't do
Please help me through
These brain tumor blues
I'm goin' down the old familiar road
Back to you

The sky is clear
Can you see your sun shinin'
Obsessive rays on a well-lit earth?
