Lyrics
White Coats and Strangled Throats (2002 version)
This one goes out to all my brothers in the institution. The world is in devastation, Because I forgot to take my medication. My mind is filled with brains being killed. There are white coats and strangled throats, Hysterical fears and electric chairs. So much pain, I'm going insane. Hear me scream, for this is no dream. Hear me howl, they're taking my soul. I've ripped apart this world. You'll never see the light of day again. Follow me into this ravine, There's nothing so deranged as what I have seen. Dig down deeper defying death. Lying in bed, don't dare close your eyes, For you might fall asleep! I crawl up the walls, across the ceiling, I feel that lost, saddened feeling. White. They've come to take me away and lock me up. I'm trying to find myself but now I'm in the dark. My mind is wandering, pondering freedom. For all I care I could be tied to this bed Because the chains that hold me are inside my head. You've ripped apart my world. I'll never see the light of day again.
