All rights reserved.] [Artwork generated with ChatGPT/Suno] [Intro] [Verse 1] It's persecution, I don't know what I've done You tried to get rid of me And now I'm sitting in a padded cell Just who the hell lost the key? [Verse 2] I can't see how I could be losing my mind Stuck in this cramped little room And now I'm rotting in a padded cell I guess I know I'm doomed. [Chorus] Trying to pass the time Though it ain't on my side I've gotta save my mind... [Guitar solo] [Verse 3] What did I do to earn this terrible fate? How could you put me away? Once I was normal but by now it's too late "So What?" I'm hearing you say. [Verse 4] Guess I was right, I cannot ever escape I'm running out of time And now I guess I'm really quite insane It's no fault of mine [Chorus] Trying to pass the time Though it ain't on my side I've gotta save my mind... [Keyboard solo] [Bridge/Outro] How am I supposed to get out of this hole I just don't know It seems to be hopeless But I'm trying to save my mind and my soul. [Chorus/Outro] Trying to pass the time Though it ain't on my side I've gotta save my mind... [Final instrumental flourish] [End]
