I'M DRUGGED WITH CONFUSION
CAN'T REMEMBER A THING,,
WAKING FROM A BAD DREAM
HEARING THESE AWFUL SCREAMS,,,,

TWENTY-FOUR HOURS GONE BY
STILL I'M HERE ALONE,,
AS THE TEARS FALL
FROM MY BLUE EYES,,,

I'VE SAT HERE FOR HOURS
TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT,,,
BUT AS ALWAYS I FIND
THERES NO-WAY OUT OF HERE,,,

IT'S BEEN A TRIP
THAT I WANT SOON FORGET,,,
CAUSE WITH-IN A FEW HOURS
I'VE LOST THOSE WHO CARED,,,

AND NOW I SIT HERE
WITH NO PLACE TO GO,,,
AND BEING WITH IN THESE WALLS
MY BODY HAS BECOME SO COLD,..

WAITING FOR THE DAY
WHEN THEY'LL SET ME FREE,,,
THE CLOCK ON THE WALL
SHOWS A QUARTER TO THREE,,,

SOON THE MAIL WILL ARRIVE
JUST LIKE YESTERDAY,,,
MAYBE THE LETTER WILL COME
WITH THE RESPONSE I'M WAITING ON,,,

AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW
MY NAME WASN'T EVEN CALLED,,,
JUST LIKE ALL THE DAYS THAT HAS PASSED
IN THE LAST DECADE,,,,

LIFE ON THE INSIDE
IS SLOWLY DRIVING ME INSANE,,,
DOESN'T ANY ONE EVEN CARE
IF I'M IN PAIN,,,,

YOU CAN SEE IT PLAINLY ON MY FACE
JUST TAKE A LOOK INSIDE MY CAGE,,,
IT FOREVER FALLS FROM MY EYES
FROM DEEP DOWN INSIDE,,,,
