Lyrics

I have been in here for way too long
And as I walk the halls at night
I see the other inmates hiding from my eyes
This is for the mentally ill
For those who have lost the will

I have seen the sickness of all mankind
And as I walk the halls at night
I see the other inmates hiding from my eyes

This is for the mentally ill
For those who have lost the will

Black hill sanitarium... they're driving me crazy
Black hill sanitarium... they're driving me crazy here

Gotta get out of here... gotta erase the fear
Gotta get out of here... no more silent tears
Gotta get out of here... no more silent tears

Black hill sanitarium... they're driving me crazy

I am going down, deep into the black of my mind
I've had enough
Therapy in little rooms, I'm lying down in my cocoon
Nothing here could end too soon, I'm lying down
Oh god, I hate those men in white

Oh, those men in white, sticking needles in my mind

And as I walk the halls at night
I see the other inmates hiding from my eyes

This is for the mentally ill
For those who have lost the will

Black hill sanitarium... they're driving me crazy
Black hill sanitarium... they're driving me crazy here

Gotta get out of here... gotta erase the fear
Gotta get out of here... no more silent tears
