Watsky & The GetBand- Seizure Boy

I was diagnosed with juvenile epilepsy in 7th grade when I had a major seizure during gym class, then had another seizure in a bowling alley a couple months later. After 3 years on Depakote I had a normal EEG scan, and I haven't had a seizure since.

Verse 1
The first thing that happens is the world goes black
You just hear a little snap when your neck rolls back
You don't bite your tongue off or foam at the lips
But before you hit the ground there's a moment of bliss
it's like toking a spliff, it's like shedding your skin
it's better than the best Trainwreck there's even been
You have to let it in, as much as it's upsetting
to wake up with bruises you don't remember getting
You don't remember how the hell you ended up indoors
You don't remember whether you were wetting your gym shorts
in front of Amanda, the girl you're after
who already thought you were a fucking disaster
It's not like a Last Will, it's making me laugh
unless you get your next one while you're taking a bath
I'm seizing the mic fast at middle school dances
I'm done being seized and I'm seizing my chances

Chorus
It's all too much (variations)
If the world breaks your legs then go and beat it with your crutch

Verse 2
Maybe true
I got baby blues
You got navy blues
Paid your dues
Name the tune
Name a hue:
What shade are you?
I see Purple People Eaters more than world beaters
And I've jumped a couple hurtles, burned some sneakers through the meters
(copasetic)
Please, get the medic
Let it breathe
I'll be the baddest motherfucking epileptic I can be
I would grieve
Asking why's it me sleeping in the ER with an IV in my arm and my V card hurting saying "God fuck if I'ma die a virgin"
I'ma grab the first nurse working, flirt and draw the curtain
So who's perkin Doctor Phil's Pills
Tyler Durden Still ill
Thrillville, Uma Therman hurting in the Kill Bills
This is to my sick kids
Time to flip this shit
Depakote, Aderol, Ritalin pixie stix
I don't give a fuck what you ride into the setting sun
It's a weapon when it's said and done

Chorus

Verse 3
Say that I'm crazy or call it a pitfall
I'll win a game of bloody knuckles hitting a brick wall
It's pinball hitting the limit to smash that glass
Taking a minute to sit in the whip and then I'm gonna mash on gas
Cause I'll be crashing that impasse with fat ass syntax
Skinny motherfucker off a bucket of Slimfast
You ever had a Gran Mal seizure in gym class?
Had whiplash back when life was dishing out pimp slaps
Fed up and we've all been better but I'm set to step up
Never let up cause the fall is just the setup now to get up
regret'll never get the better of me with a sawed off
When I'm having trouble talking someone knocks my writer's block off
if my eyes glaze and my knees drift south
And you think to stick a credit card in my mouth
I take Mastercard and Visa for my risk rewards
i'm not biting my tongue, why don't you bite yours?

that is an amazing build up. so relaxing yet intense & then "im biting my tongue WHY DONT YOU BITE YOURS?!" it crashes back in & you just wanna flip the fuck out, gets me every time.

I have listened to this song SO many times. PLEASE do a full length album of this style, and I'll buy it....twice.

@megababe3000 The actual lyric is "I'm not biting my tongue why don't you bite yours" In frustration about people who don't know much about epilepsy or seizures in general. Most people if you ask them what to do in the event of a seizure they would say "Make sure they don't bite their tongue of" or "Make sure they don't swallow their tongue" I can relate to this because just recently I had two seizures and the people around me had no idea of what to do. It still is amazing how he makes emotions.

[irishdemp594]

@123456eagleeye He doesn't need to go on those lame shows. He has a well-rounded audience already. It wouldn't be too difficult to build that audience if he wanted to.
