And does not say it all


I've felt the pain for so many years
How epilepsy alters your life
Alters is a kind way of putting it
And does not say it all
Epilepsy fucks you up and takes the job
It fucks you up and stops you driving
It fucks you up 'cause you're socially knackered
It fucks you up 'cause you now can't do this
And you now can't do that
And you now can't do the fuckin' next thing
And there's only one reason
It's 'cause you're fucked
Emotionally, socially, work-wise
Remember and say goodbye to to the people
That claim they care

Epileptic lifestyle

It's a pain in your heart when you have no coices
With epilepsy it's your brain that makes the decisions
And you don't get to put a word in
It just comes over you and you either pass out or blank out
Whatever you do, it takes you out

Sometimes for a short time
Sometimes for a long time
Whatever, you don't get to put a word in
And when you pass out or blank out it's not your choice
Regardless, it takes you out

Sometimes you see it
And sometimes you don't
No matter, you don't get to put a word in
And when it strikes, it's not your bad choice
It chooses when to take you out

And when you're down on the ground
And they point and snigger
And they might, perhaps, do what they can
To make sure that you don't die
On their patch
