1.0 rich hearthis.at https://hearthis.at 150 100% As a lot of my fans will know I have suffered a war with mental health services here in Wales since I was falsely diagnosed with schizophrenia when I was 19 in 1997. It really disrupted my early DJ career and it is a miracle that I am simply still here making music today… Verse 1 They wrote a word beside my name Then treated me like I became A case, a chart, a numbered bed A list of symptoms in their head They called it care, they locked the door And never asked what I was fighting for A quiet face, a distant stare Is that recovery—or just despair? Pre-Chorus I want the truth, the risks explained A voice in what goes through my veins No threat, no force, no polished lies No talking down, no closing eyes Chorus I am not your diagnosis Not a problem to sedate I deserve informed consent And a choice inside my fate Let me question, let me challenge Let another doctor speak Help me find a safer pathway Don’t mistake control for peace Verse 2 The depot comes, the long weeks turn With heavy limbs and nerves that burn The weight, the tremor, clouded thought The hidden price of “help” I bought A zombie mask is not a cure And silence doesn’t mean I’m well for sure If medicine is meant to mend Then hear me when I say what I can’t stand Pre-Chorus Review the dose, review the plan See the person, not the scan And if a change is right for me Make it supported, slow and safely Chorus I am not your diagnosis Not a problem to sedate I deserve informed consent And a choice inside my fate Let me question, let me challenge Let another doctor speak Help me find a safer pathway Don’t mistake control for peace Bridge Families split beneath the strain Social workers carrying the blame While distant experts claim they know Which road a wounded life should go But freedom needs a place to sleep Good food, fresh air, and promises we keep A trusted hand, a living wage A life beyond the locked-in page Breakdown No charlatan in a polished chair Gets to pretend the harm’s not there No institution owns my mind Respect is how real care is defined I’ll bring an advocate with me Ask what each choice may do to me I’ll seek another point of view My health, my body, my voice too Final Chorus I am more than a diagnosis More than everything they wrote I can question every warning Every tablet, every dose Give me daylight, give me movement Give me purpose, give me time Help me build a fit and healthy life That I can truly call mine Outro Open the door—but don’t abandon me Freedom with support, and dignity No forced peace, no grand disguise Let me live, let me decide https://img.hearthis.at/4/1/2/_/uploads/7118284/image_track/14621094/w1200_h628_q70_ptrue_v2_m1786333562----cropped_1786333558214.jpg?m=1786333562 1200 628 ]]> Wez G https://hearthis.at/wezg/
