lyrics

When one is surrounded
exclusively by the insane
the normal and the fucked-up
all starts to seem the same

they say that you go crazy
Alone by yourself
So what's a boy to do?
How'can a brain save itself?

But maybe there's someone else
thrown in here just like me
How could I really even know though
And why should I even be believed?

I'm sure I wasn't crazy when they put me in here
But I'm not sure I'll leave with my sanity, I may have lost it already I fear

Maybe I won't talk to anyone
Or maybe I'll say whatever comes to me
Maybe all these lunatics like it
Maybe they're doing whatever they damn well please

No, stop! Normal don't just say
what's actually on there mind
They have to conceal their emotions
keep it all safe inside

And soon I was out the door
with a certificate of sanity
But surrounded by all these normal people
somehow I felt even less free

maybe I should I do whatever I damn well please
