Comus - The Prisoner lyrics

rate me

I was mad and was accepted for treatment at a hospital for the mentally sick

I was wild and introvert wandering alone in the night

I would scream and rage should someone disturb my peace

So they took me away and they put me here alone in my silent privacy

Then they gave me shock treatment

And when I awoke I was numb and remembering nothing

Probe me mould me reassemble my brain my brain

Schizoid paranoid just terms just names just names

Why can't you leave me don't drive me insane

Your minds analyse me, your eyes penetrate me

Illusions, confusions, I'm frightened, I'm helpless

Please leave me I long to be free

I long to be free

I lie alone unable to remember

No face no name no eyes my brain just an ember

Kindle me protect my barren matter

Whose seeds may propagate yet still may shatter

They have emptied my head of its dreaming

Like paper out of a waste bin

And I yearn to be yearn to be yearn to be yearn to be free

Cold is the climate dark is the atomic night

Searching and hoping guarding my mind from your sight

Your evil eyes watch me your evil hands touch me they're cold

I can stand prison but even my conscious you hold

Let me be

Set me free

Yea

Probe me mould me reassemble my brain my brain

Schizoid paranoid just terms just names just names

Why can't you leave me don't drive me insane insane insane insane insane....
