Welcome Home (Sanitarium) Lyrics
Metallica
Welcome to a time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same things every night
I see your freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No thing to make my brain seem scarred
Sleep my friend and you will seeThat dream is my realityThey keep me locked up in this cage
Can't see it's why my brain says rage
Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Build my fear of what's out there
And cannot breath the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I'm insaneThey think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He's getting better, can't you tell ?
No more can keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
But they think this saves us from our hell
Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Fear of living onNatives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same things every night
I see your freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No thing to make my brain seem scarred
Sleep my friend and you will seeThat dream is my realityThey keep me locked up in this cage
Can't see it's why my brain says rage
Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Build my fear of what's out there
And cannot breath the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I'm insaneThey think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He's getting better, can't you tell ?
No more can keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
But they think this saves us from our hell
Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Fear of living onNatives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again
