The Prisoner-Comus

The Prisoner - Comus 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, mold 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 analyze 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, yeah Oh, probe me, mold 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
