Welcome to where time stands still No one leaves and no one will Moon is full, never seems to change Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night I see our freedom in my sight No locked doors, no windows barred No things to make my brain seem scarred
Sleep my friend and you will see The dream is my reality They keep me locked up in this cage Can't they see it's why my brain says rage
Sanitarium, leave me be Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Build my fear of what's out there Can I breathe the open air Whisper things into my brain Assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands But violent use brings violent plans Keep him tied, it makes him well He's getting better, can't you tell?
No more can they keep us in Listen, damn it, we will win They see it right, they see it well But they think this saves us from our hell
Sanitarium, leave me be Sanitarium, just leave me alone Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Fear of living on, natives getting restless now Mutiny in the air, got some death to do Mirror stares back hard, kill, it's such a friendly word Seems the only way for reaching out again
