Come inside and be afraid
Of this impressive mess I've made
If you take a look now you will find
I have thrown away my vice
Done away with paradise
See what's going on inside my mind
Please let me out
Please let me out
Please let me

Branded like an animal
I can still feel the burn in my mind
I do believe that you've made your message clear
(I think I'm losin' my mind, I think I'm losin' my mind)
Deprivating, isolating all that I feel
Leaving me with images I know are not real
Are those words of condemnation that I hear
(I think I'm losin' my mind, I think I'm losin' my)

Come inside now, I implore
Do you think you can restore
The crucial pieces missing from my brain
What seems to be the matter dear
Why do you cry and shake with fear
I've only had the best dub me insane
Please let me out
Please let me out
Please let me

Branded like an animal
I can still feel the burn in my mind
I do believe that you've made your message clear
(I think I'm losin' my mind, I think I'm losin' my mind)
Deprivating, isolating all that I feel
Leaving me with images I know are not real
Are those words of condemnation that I hear
(I think I'm losin' my mind, I think I'm losin' my)

Don't know how much I can take
The secret thoughts inside me wake
I've lost what was within me
Oh sweet insanity

Don't know how much I can take
The secret thoughts inside me wake
I've lost what was within me
Oh sweet insanity

Now I try again to find
The thing that was my mind
Behold the other side
That said I've lost my mind

Now I try again to find
The thing that was my mind
Behold the other side
That said I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind! [Repeats]
