"When I fully understand the joke,
There is no room to laugh.

I am the punch line.
I am the fool.

These straight men feed me the lines
and I give them my reply.

I break them up.
They cannot laugh.

They're on stage with me;
just as long as I say so.

And, when they aren't on stage,
They get to watch.

But, or course, I don't see them.
After all, I never leave the stage."

"Schizo WHO?

Schizophrenia

Such is the life of a lad.
Even when he is particularly sad,
he gets a good chuckle in.

Schizophrenia

It's such a lot of fun,
Playing games with everyone.
Waiting for the show to begin."

"When you're going 'Schiz'
and you're having shit fits,

and you run out of things to say,

When your friends laugh at you,
And you think that it's true,

that you're losing it day by day.

Just hold onto your ass
Because, 'All things must pass'

It's just one of life's little games.

All the people that you know,
and the love that you show,

Will keep you from going insane."
