about

"Our mental health is a market. They turned our feelings
into profit."

lyrics

We don’t even have the language to understand our children
Generations of repressed self-expression
over-medicated, misunderstood
There’s no patience for difference
We couldn’t walk away from our problems
Couldn’t walk away from myself
So they separate us
quarantined
So they separate us
quarantined
Treat us like we are a disease
But there’s no real healing
So we’ll turn on ourselves
Still try to figure out the problem
Don’t know where to start
No one can help
Therapy is an institution
Our mental health
is a market
Turned our feelings
into profit
I feel shame
Though I’ve no blame
(I) bear this pain
You turn me away / call me insane
