Trying to Pretend

I went to the doctor the other day
To see what ailed my soul
He told me to look into the light
To help account the toll.

He told me there’s a little known organ
Tucked right behind the heart
It’s your Emotional Capacitor, he said
It’s basically fallen apart.

I demanded to see his license
I threatened to call the authorities
But he wrote on my chart
‘Patient proved my diagnosis.’

So what’s the remedy, doc
What pill can I take?
He smiled and shrugged
You’ve just got accept it’s all fake.

He handed me a placebo
I sold it to a friend
Thanks man. Really, he said
I’m having trouble trying to pretend.
