Life Put Me In a Looney Bin
My life's becoming such a shamble
Every day I try and scramble
To survive and keep sane
But sometimes this crazy game
That I endure never ends
One day it's going to send
Me to a place I get to be
With other people just like me
Who snapped from the daily stress
Making us become a mess
Losing ourselves in our minds
And no ones able to find
A way to pull us out of
The torture that caused enough
Pain for this insanity
We are trapped and can't be free
Lost and never coming back
Our lives are fully intact
Medicine helps keep us calm
So we don't do any harm
In a padded room that's white
Locked away both day and night
Meals cooked--no knives around
In a shocked state we are found
A new life has now begin
Windows letting in the sun
From a world outside where thee
Are others waiting to live here
