Asylum

Locked in a little room bland and white

No patterns on the walls

Only a jacket to keep me company

I'm going out of my mind in this place

I thrash and scream, but they insert the needle

The thick yellow serum makes me a prisoner

Trapped in my own body

Locked in a little room bland and white

I sit in the corner after they're gone

I slip my arms from the sleeves

And pull the jacket over my head

One day I'll escape

They won't get me back

Locked in a little bland and white

I plot and they can't do a thing

Sometimes they take me out

To display me like a little doll

The bright lights blind me with their glare

I feel their gazes focused on me

Locked in a little room bland and white

They revel in my agony

I hold in the screams as they poke and prod me

They turn the dials and start the electricity

I thrash and scream

Locked in a little room bland an white

Why can't they just let me be?
