Refining Consciousness

Each week I sit in therapy I aim to be a better me So I tune out the therapist And self psychoanalyze. I think hmm, I might be mean Am I self-absorbed? A narcissist perhaps? Or an a**hole in relapse? Is it just anxiety? I think I might have OCD But I might just like to organize. If I’m a good person do I win a prize? I don’t believe in hell Which is really just as well Cause I don’t think I’m good enough And purgatory would be rough. Let me pick a part my brain Am I genius or am I insane I think this trauma’s from my mom Mental gymnastics is much more fun! If I can pinch and I can tweak Fix all my problems by next week Everything would all be great! So let’s go in with scalpel And a little bit of glue And everything wrong with my brain We’ll kindly undo.
