Inside the walls I've made

To keep out all who reach for me

I might have lost my way

And I can't come out again



Don't come around here anymore

You may infect yourself

Don't ever cross this line

You could see monsters in your mind

There just like me



Have I erased all sense of touch

I don't feel anything

Sometimes they say I need

Sometimes I think I need

Sometimes I know I need

New parts for my brain



Most dreams, they're black and white

But I must color mine

Each day's another end

Less night of screaming

Shouting at the outside

Someone let me in



Set me free now no-one can

Faces at the window

Stop the water, bags of sand

Institutional man



Sometimes they say I need

Sometimes I think I need

Sometimes I know I need

New parts for my brain



Set me free now no-one can

Faces at the window

Lock the cages, tie my hands

Institutional, institutional man
