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
