I rock back and forth
On the white bleached bed sheets
On the hard mattress
In the cold antiseptic room
They're watching me
Through that mirror
They think I'm thick
They think that I don't know that they're there
But I know
I know a lot more than they do
I wasn't always this...removed,
I used to be like the rest of the people out there
Living their lives as pawns
Pawns of the system
Pawns with no power or rights
They believe they do
But they don't
Why is the public so blind?
So oblivious to their demise
I was like that
Til I discovered the truth
Til I realised that no one is safe
But no one believed me
They called crazy
They called me paranoid
Then my so-called loving parents sent me here
To the asylum
And wished that I would see that I was wrong
But I am not wrong
It is they who are wrong
With the wool pulled over their eyes
I wonder how many, like me, have discovered the truth
Discovered the horrible reality
And been laughed at
And even called insane
Now I can do nothing
Nothing to liberate the lives of the public
For I am stuck here
With no way out alive
I can't stand this any more
Their constant watching and listening to me
Why don't they just kill me?
Put both of us out of our misery
I finger the knife I stole from my lunch
if they won't kill me
I will
and I do
