Intro] Oh oh Ooooooo be be bo bo book be back baa baa nah nah nah nah ah ah aha la ah oh oh Verse 1: I am locked up so tight, in this loony bin Where the straitjackets fit, and where coping skill bingo is just about to begin. I'm the queen of the crazies, in this insane asylum that is full of pain I'm ruling with an iron fist, or should I say, with a banana and with A rubber cane? Pre-Chorus] Whispers inside of the darkness, these shadows that stalk me up on the wall The voices start to whisper, and then I begin to endledsly fall Into the depths of madness, where the lines of insanity and reality get blurred And now I'm lost inside the echoes, of my own distorted word Chorus: These Padded walls surround me, my own safe, yet soft and quiet space But the voices that are in my head, they are screaming they are getting in my face They are telling me to spin and dance, they're telling me it is time to belt out a note and to sing But the silence when the voices finally stop talking becomes suddenly is deafening, it's drives me to want to scream Verse 2] My doctor's sits me down to tell me he has got the plan, to fix my oh so weary, tired and very broken brain I dont believe what he is saying will work so I instead I just playing along, with a wink and as i gently refrained Because he doesnt seem to understand I'm a master of all this chaotic madness, most don't realize that I have PhD in tortured emotional pain They call me the lord of the lunatics, in this asylum that spins round on the track for this insane toy train Pre-Chorus] Whispers inside of the darkness, these shadows that stalk me up on the wall The voices start to whisper, and then I begin to endledsly fall Into the depths of madness, where the lines of insanity and reality get blurred And now I'm lost inside the echoes, of my own distorted word Chorus: These Padded walls surround me, my own safe, yet soft and quiet space But the voices that are in my head, they are screaming they are getting in my face They ate telling me to spin and dance, they're telling me it is time to belt out a note it sing But the silence when the voices stop talking becomes suddenly deafening, and it's driving me to want to scream Bridge] I am writing this song, on scrap paper with a crayon in my hand I have been drawing on the walls, as they trap me in this horrid land But I'm screaming at the top, of my lungs so If someone finds me and believes me i will be just fine But nobody does hear me, in this asylum where they have me tied up locked down and thoroughly confined Pre-Chorus] Whispers inside of the darkness, these shadows that stalk me up on the wall The voices start to whisper, and then I begin to endledsly fall Into the depths of madness, where the lines of insanity and reality get blurred And now I'm lost inside the echoes, of my own distorted word Chorus: These Padded walls surround me, my own safe, yet soft and quiet space But the voices that are in my head, they are screaming they are getting in my face They ate telling me to spin and dance, they're telling me it is time to belt out a note it sing But the silence when the voices stop talking becomes suddenly deafening, and it's driving me to want to scream Outro] But someday I hope to be free, I will walk out of these doors I will leave this madness behind us and look into the world for things that bring me happiness forevermore A world where i take my medicine correctly and the sanity begins again to reign, and all of the voices they will fade far away And find my place in it, forever being able to rest in peace while alive come what ever may Oh oh Ooooooo be be bo bo book be back baa baa nah nah nah nah ah ah aha la ah oh oh
