Psycho

by @Eloi1997

A psych ward is the place to be, Come along, and you will see. You'll be welcomed by forgotten silent deaths and torturous screams. An everlasting place of a need to be free. Come on down to the "freak show", We'll show you how we rock and roll, Some say that we're unhinged, But trust me honey, the fun is about to begin. A lobotomy a day keeps the schizophrenia away they say, An electric chair isn't the cruelest thing there, By far it is knowing that you are not crazy, amongst a world that is. We'll dance for you, we do it well. But if we don't, torture will make it amends. We sit here day on day, hoping for freedom, Uncanny, unlikely, and an impossible dream. A  psych ward is the place to be, We'll grow old here and die a forgotten death, The music is still playing, The patients are still dancing, This is my last day. So come on down to our freak show, join our family, we'll show you how to rock and roll, And die insanely.
