I follow my own reality

A world existent in itself

A world unacknowledged, and yet—so real

Pushed away whenever it is felt

You know that it's not real

I know that you are wrong

I know that if I speak the truth

These thoughts would soon be gone

So you take me in

Ready to change me

To make me believe what I confess

Not only to make me

See the truth

But to know it, to believe it, nothing less

Then I'm told I am insane

Difficult to cure

The obvious absurdity of it all

Is left outside the door

As the coercion becomes more real

Reality starts to blur

And as I take a wild guess

I think I start to feel the cure

And I believe I'm finally

Easing the pain

With two and three and five

I believe that I finally

Have some control

Over this disobedient mind

At last I have learned

After all these crimes

To think twice before I think once

At long last I believe

That the truth rides
