lirik lagu comus – the prisoner
i was mad and was accepted
for treatment at a hospital
for the mentally sick
i was wild and introvert
wondering alone
in the night
i would scream and rage
should someone
disturb my peace
so they took me away
and they put me here alone
in my silent privacy
then they gave me shock treatment
when i woke i was numb
and remembered nothing
probe me mold me
re-ssemble my brain, my brain
schizoid paranoid
just terms, just names, just names
why can’t you leave me
don’t drive me insane, insane
your minds -n-lyze me
your eyes penetrate me
illusion, confusion,
i’m frightened, i’m helpless
please leave me
i long to be free
i lie alone unable to remember
no face no names no eyes my brain just an ember
kindle me protect my barren matter
whose seeds may propagate yet still they shatter
they have emptied my head of its dreaming
like paper out of a waste bin
and i yearned to be free
cold is the climate dark is the atomic night
searching and hoping guarding my mind from your sight
your evil eyes watch me your evil hands touch me they’re cold
i can stand prison but even my conscience you hold
let me be
set me free
probe me mold me
re-ssemble my brain, my brain
schizoid paranoid
just terms, just names, just names
why can’t you leave me
don’t drive me insane, insane
