PADDED ROOM


The ringing in my ears
The signs in front of my eyes
Tell me why I'm losing
But I don't want to know
All I want is what I need

I know that I'm uncontrolled
I'm uncontrollable
I should probably be left
To self destruct
By myself, where no one knows

Lock me away
I can do no harm that way
I'd probably still cause pain for someone
It seems that I am something sharp
I'm always hurting someone
Or making things uncomfortable
But I don't mean it
I don't know it

I cannot move my mind
I cannot find the things I do
I don't want to
I can't see straight
My eyes are crooked

I've lost my mind now
I couldn't care less
I have no consciousness
I don't know what to do
I've lost all the sanity I used to have
Dreams have stolen my mind from me

Sometimes I can find a temporary thought
To occupy my dormant head
But craziness comes back to haunt me
The loss of what I've found
The time I've got to understand
Is far too long to be in chains

I've set my stability free
Given it a chance to fly
It ran screaming from my body
And I sat alone and cried
For I know that I will not go sane
But I will die content
