Take the pills, cure the pain
Helps you to see straight again
Reconnect with my senses
Energise my defences
You'll get out once you're stable
Prove to us that you're able
To get a job and play the game
Prove to us that you are sane
Bearing down from above
Torn out my hope and love
Oh please won't you help me get out of this hell
Frantic, manic, panic, save me
Lock me up, pin me down and medicate me
I hear them screaming, I'm dreaming, someone wake me
Is this really my reality
Trapped in a five-foot cell
I'm feeling so unwell
Voices keep telling me lies
And I can see it in your eyes
Bearing down from above
Torn out my hope and love
Oh please won't you help me get out of this hell
Frantic, manic, panic, save me
Lock me up, pin me down and medicate me
I hear them screaming, I'm dreaming, someone wake me
Is this really my reality
