Sanity

Sanity is a temporary thing, it can be chipped away

It is always at the edges that you start to fray

You start to rust

Dreams turn to dust

Pound on the walls, try to get out

No one cares how loud you shout

You've lost your reason, you've lost your mind

The drugs are making you go blind

You see spots, you hear voices

They tell you what to do though you can make no choices

Sound proofed walls and padded cells

They lock you up inside this Hell

They analyze and label you

Give me a break, give me something new

They sit there, rewording the same old questions

Pretty soon you're afraid of  your own reflection

You get the jitters, you get the shakes

And everyone you see is an evil snake

Your "condition" has been branded on your soul

You.ve given up and given them complete control

It hurts so much when you try to think

They.ve succeeded at pushing you past the brink

It's oh so much better to rant and rave

Their approval now is all I crave
