Based on the song therapy by all time low
"Therapy is every kids nightmare. When everyone is telling you you need help and all you really want is a hug." - Alex Gaskarth (All time low)

I want a hug, a kiss, human contact
they give me therapy
I smile as my bridge burns down
I pretend everything's all right
as my heart pounds
What do I have wrong with me, nothing
I need therapy?

instead of dealing I drown it all out
my ship sinks in the rising sea of denial
people talk I shoot them down
my tongue like a knife I cut them out

people talk, I can talk to
they shoot me down before I do it to them
I'm left like a broken record stuck on repeat,
cheep beer and bad cigarettes
I'm in a pool of conceit

I'm thin and sketchy looking,
hair thinned, eyes bulging
am I delirious or just paranoid?
experts in therapy say I'm a travesty,
what do they know?
I'm a fucking hurricane

I trawl the streets in search of good company,
what do I find?
More lies and emptiness, everyone needs therapy
not just me
I can fix my self
I know,
I know
but that doesn't change what I've been through
I can feel myself rising though

Sure I have a problem,
who doesn't?
I don't need therapy,
you are my enemy
I can fix myself,
at you-I turn up my nose

I'm 'better' now I don't need therapy
I'm with my friends
who needs parents?
who needs therapy?
I'm doing this on my own but not on my own
I'm with my friends I'm not really alone...
