I'm Psycho...Or Am I?
The yellow wallpaper
Is sickening
The apathetic nature
Has become more apparent
Surrounded by mass hysteria
Is my new lifestyle
At least until they decide
That I am "well"
They constantly ask me
If I wish to return to the free world
To which I reply
Your idea of a free world
Is in complete opposition to mine
In my short period here
I have been able to express myself freely
Without any means of condemnation
But if I were to speak the same words
Outside of these bars
Then I would be criticized indefinitely
So I ask you which is better
Your free world, full of judgement
Or mine, where I can speak as I wish
The only price I have to pay for my freedom
Is to put on a facade
And make people think I'm crazy
Sometimes, that's the only way they'll listen
Is sickening
The apathetic nature

Surrounded by mass hysteria
Is my new lifestyle
