Every hallway's painted white as the light

That will guide you to your help

Making friends with strangers inside my mind

'Cause they seem to know me well

Hiding the pills inside your mouth

Swallow 'em down then spit them out

I hear the laughter scream and shout

No tomorrow

When they call your name, better run and hide

Tell you you're insane. you believe their lies

(Ooh) I'm not getting out, no I'm not getting out alive

(Ooh) I'm not getting out, 'cause I'm patient number 9

When the sun goes down, the animals cry

That's a sound you won't forget

It's the mirror's face you don't recognize

It'll get you in the end

Hiding the pills inside your mouth

Swallow 'em down then spit them out

I hear the laughter scream and shout

Someone help me

When they call your name, better run and hide

Tell you you're insane. you believe their lies

(Ooh) I'm not getting out, no I'm not getting out alive

(Ooh) I'm not getting out, 'cause I'm patient number 9

When the walls of a padded cell become reality

How many tears 'til I drown myself 'cause no one cries for me?

If there's a God, why'd he let the devil do his work on me? Oh, yeah

If there's a God, what am I doing here?

When they call your name, better run and hide

Tell you you're insane. you believe their lies

(Ooh) I'm not getting out, no I'm not getting out alive

(Ooh) I'm not getting out, 'cause I'm patient number 9
