[Verse 1] Hi And welcome to the room 4A We hope you like it 'cause you're here to stay Please watch your head and close the door Take a seat on the bed or lay on the floor There's nothing much here Just a chair and a table There's a nice man here His name is Mr. Label But don't talk to him He's highly unstable If he starts to run his mouth Then just gag him with a cable You should've seen him back in "O-5" He was kicking it with the boys Trying to get high But he saw a lot of shit And he went too far Had a breakdown And now he thinks he's a star He told us a story 'bout this one time He met this girl with blue eyes and a dark mind Her name was Jessica And she had some trauma Met her in the ward And she had a lot of drama He used to write her poems He used to write her songs She used to get mad 'cause she thought it was wrong 'Cause he'd write a verse only when she's in pain But that's the price you pay when you're stuck in 4A [Chorus] I'm not insane This is a cage For my brain I'm okay In room 4A [Verse 2] Now Jessica left about a week ago They said she was better, ready for the show But Mr. Label knows she'll be back soon Cause she comes back when he hums her tune He's got a calendar marked with red X's Counting down the days since she left him Says the doctors here don't know a thing They just medicate and clip your wings There's a new girl now in Jessica's bed She don't talk much, just shakes her head Mr. Label tried to write her a rhyme But she just stared at him the whole damn time The nurses come at eight and four To check our vitals and lock the door They ask us questions, take our pulse But the world doesn't really want results 'Cause if we're better then we leave And if we leave then they can't breathe They need us broken, need us here To justify all their fears [Chorus] I'm not insane This is a cage For my brain I'm okay In Room 4A [Bridge] Mr. Label's writing on the walls again Documenting his life for his friends He's got theories 'bout the medication Says it's all some kind of sedation I tried to tell him that it helps me sleep But he just laughed and called me sheep Maybe he's right or maybe he's wrong Either way we're both stuck in this song Jessica called the ward last night Mr. Label said she's fighting for her life Said she misses room 4A Said the real world's worse than the cage So maybe we're the lucky ones Maybe we're the only ones Who get to hide from all the noise While the world outside destroys [Verse 3] Morning comes and here we are Mr. Label's humming at his scar The one he got before he came The one that's shaped just like his name I asked him once what it's about He said, "It's how I got out" But then he laughed and said, "Not really I'm still here, still looking silly" Jessica's bed is filled again This time it's someone's ex girlfriend She's got a story just like ours About the fall from broken stars And so the cycle goes around In room 4A we're safe and sound Or maybe we're just killing time Until we all lose our minds But Mr. Label says don't worry There's no need to rush or hurry 'Cause when you're stuck in room 4A Every night is the tax we pay [Chorus] I'm not insane This is a cage For my brain I'm okay In room 4A [Outro] I'm not insane This is a cage For my brain I'm okay Here in room 4A
