Lyrics

[Verse 1]
White coats to bind me, out of control
I live alone inside my mind
World of confusion, air filled with noise
Who says that my life's such a crime?
[PreChorus]
Trapped—in this nightmare
I wish I'd wake
As my whole life begins to shake
Four walls—surround me
An empty gaze
I can't find my way out of this maze
And I don't care
Fall in, fall out
Gone without a doubt (Help me)
I can't take the blame
They don't feel the shame
[Chorus]
It's a madhouse
Or so they claim
It's a madhouse
Oh, am I insane?
[Verse 2]
My fears behind me, what can I do?
My dreams haunt my sleep at night
Oh no
Won't learn their lesson, white fills my eyes
And only then, they see the light
[PreChorus]
Trapped—in this nightmare
I wish I'd wake
And my whole life begins to shake
Four walls—surround me
An empty gaze
I can't find my way out of this maze
'Cause I don't care
Fall in, fall out
Gone without a doubt (Help me)
Can't take the blame
I don't feel the shame
[Chorus]
'Cause it's a madhouse
Or so they claim
It's a madhouse
I'm insane
[PreChorus]
Trapped—in this nightmare
I wish I'd wake
As my whole life begins to shake
Four walls—surround me
An empty gaze
Can't find my way out of this maze
'Cause I don't care
Fall in, fall out
Gone without a doubt (Help me)
Can't take the blame
They don't feel the shame
[Chorus]
It's a madhouse
Or so they claim
It's a madhouse
I'm insane
[Outro]
Mad, madhouse
Mad, mad, mad, madhouse
