lazareth - psychopath. lyrics

[verse 1]
pull up a chair, get comfy, and listen
hear all my words while i paint you an image
you couldn’t capture it, with nighttime cameras
there ain’t no light, but that ain’t the half of it
through all the rambling, teens are still battling
wars with depression and it is not glamorous
it is way more than just seeking attention
slittin’ their wrists, the addiction persists
you didn’t know that self-harm was addictive
well, guess what, lil’ homie, the fact is, it is!
it started out copin’, but now they are roped in
did it one time, now they crave the endorphins
constantly cloaking all of their scars
’cause they will be judged for exposing their arms!
the stigma is real and don’t you ignore it
it’s hard enough with the pain they are storin’
don’t make it worse by judging their character
don’t treat them like a disease or a carrier
’cause, in the end, it’ll only build barriers
and make them feel like to trust is much scarier
so you’ve gotta learn the condition they’re in
and start working with them instead of against!

[chorus]
i am not a psychopath
i am not a psychopath
sometimes i might lose my grasp
but i am not a psychopath
i am not a psychopath
i am not a psychopath
you wonder why i wear a mask
’cause i am not a psychopath

[verse 2]
don’t make me write ’bout these stereotypes
that are making it harder to take on the fight
don’t make me write ’bout these stereotypes
that are making it harder to take on the fight
they think their life is just sick and pathetic
and you say they’re lazy and need to get at it
pages you’re going through, they are just venting
and you chalk it up as a pretty aesthetic!
now in everyone’s eyes, it’s romanticized
and n-body sees how it’s real in their lives
they think it’s sadness but it is way more
it is exhaustion way down in their soul
it is self-hatred beyond their control
and it will destroy your emotional core!
“mind over matter” that’s all that you say
not knowing that it is much deeper engraved
you think their emotions are easily managed
but inside their brains, there is an imbalance
their neuro-chemicals all outta wack
and you wonder why they can’t get back on track
i think you need to remind yourself that
those with depression are not psychopaths

[chorus]
i am not a psychopath
i am not a psychopath
sometimes i might lose my grasp
but i am not a psychopath
i am not a psychopath
i am not a psychopath
you wonder why i wear a mask
’cause i am not a psychopath

[outro]
and that goes for anyone dealing with
other mental illnesses or mental health struggles as well
the problem with the stigmas surrounding mental health is that
in order to truly understand what it’s like to deal with something or have something
you have to actually experience it yourself
but even within that, everyone’s experience is different
some people feel worse than others or are affected in different ways
so mental illness isn’t just a “one size fits all” type of thing
everyone who experiences it experiences it differently
and you could never fully understand what it’s like
unless you experience it firsthand
