You down with OCD? Yeah you know me
I’m trapped in a body that tics but oh please
Got thoughts that are intrusive a mind that’s extra lucid
Produced by a synapse that helps me gain that lucrative
Lyrical miraculous imperial disposition
Verbs, syntax, phonetic expedition
Indelible incisions of images unforgettable despicable and negligible
Somehow I stay and listen
I listen not smitten dismissing thoughts on a mission
I pray to God I surrender this bender’s getting exhaustive
I write until I’m obnoxious I’m popping words through my conscious
I’m counting verbs and the light switch running in herds in my nightgown
And i’m the only one listening
I blink 4 times in the kitchen
Until the feeling feels right
Wish that this wasn’t my mission
You down with OCD? Yeah you know me
Howard Hughes on the loose tissues on my feet
Got to get it together trying to keep it discreet
Some people think it’s all for nothing but it’s something to me
I used to rock a shower cap essential when I hit the hay
Prisoner of the mind in decline trying to get away
No matter where I went there I was scared as fuck
Paranoid of those around me apathetic cared too much
Doing laps around the car Andy Kaufman on the scene
Checking handles like 3 or 4 times before I leave
Caught up in my thoughts fear and lots of loathing
The devil’s in the difference so I’m rocking the same clothing
Compulsively absurd in my requests
I had to get over the bullshit behaviors they’re making my life a mess
Q U A R A, N T I N E
Progress sits on the horizon and that’s where you’ll find me
