Alternative Treatment Lyrics by ​an Unkindness

10 Years

2020

[Intro]
One, two
This is so weird...
[Verse 1]
Don't you know there was a time these decisions were not mine
And I was sent for help?
But what I began to find is it hurts to have my mind
Lookin' on itself
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, you don't need therapy, you're smarter than your parents see
Who cares if they took care of me? It's fair to say they're scared of me
Help me care to see that there's a deeper harmony
Life could be your fantasy if you could see
[Chorus]
You don't need that
You don't need that
You don't need that
You don't need that
[Post-Chorus]
I still remember when you told me I shit on your life
I still remember when you told me you were sorry
Now when you tell me that you love me, I can't make a sound
I guess it goes to show the lows can weigh you down
[Verse 2]
When I'm searchin' for a soul, each new detail that I know
Only turns to doubt
'Til the screamin' in my head, it shouts, "Either get me off
Or get off me now"
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well, you don't need dope, I mean, you hold plenty of dopamine
Grow new teeth and hope to clean the poems he once spoke to me
Hold these frozen dreams and store 'em in a melody
Life could be a symphony if you could see
[Chorus]
You don't need that
You don't need that
You don't need that
You don't need that
[Bridge]
Well, I found love, it only lasts a week
I don't wanna hurt, why do they love me?
Yeah, I found love, it only lasts a week
And if I haven't learned, I'll just burn the other cheek
[Verse 3]
I forgot those seven thoughts
Could form above my mouth
From now 'til then I'll force this
Conversation out
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Well, you don't need sympathy to break away from misery
Ditch all of the fear you feel's a sin to even live with me
Toss these stupid drinks and make a mental music sheet
Life could be a lucid dream if you could see
[Chorus]
You don't need that
You don't need that
You don't need that
You don't need that
[Bridge 2]
Now I've been far and wide searchin' for miracles
But once you know someone, they're just predictable
And keeping that in mind, I sing a simple song
Na-na-na-na-na
[Post-Chorus]
I still remember when you told me I shit on your life
I still remember when you told me you were sorry
Now when you tell me that you love me, I can't make a sound
I guess it goes to show that lows can weigh you down
[Outro]
I still remember when you hurt me and ruined my life
I still remember when you finally said you're sorry
Now when I tell you that's behind me, I still have my doubts
I guess it goes to show the lows can weigh you down
I guess it goes to show the lows can weigh you down
I guess it goes to show the lows can weigh you down
