The Tug

There's no need for you to worry No need for you to fret I've been to see the doctor And he says I'm not a threat He says that I'm not dangerous And I will be okay And that the voices in my head Will one day go away If unhinged were bottle rockets I might light up the night sky I could snap at any moment But I promise not to bite Don't be nervous I'm not contagious Though I'm not a betting man My mind's just on hiatus Out building castles in the sand So you see there's no need to worry Or call the authorities But if non compos mentis came in Slurpees I'm pretty sure my brain would freeze Perhaps I see things differently Than the normal side of town Doesn't mean I'm pushing crazy I'm just tugging on its hand
