Welcome to where time stands still no one leaves and no one will Moon is full, never seems to change just labeled mentally deranged Dream the same thing every night I see our freedom in my sight No locked doors, No windows barred No things to make my brain seem scarred
Sleep my friend and you will see that dream is my reality They keep me locked up in this cage can't they 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 breathe the open air Whisper things into my brain assuring me that I'm insane They 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 they 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 on natives 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.

Such a great song, have you ever felt that sometimes people hold power over your head, in the disguise of trying to help you?

This is one of my Metallica faves... Great song. I believe it's about soldiers returning from war and having mental trauma (-like PTS etc)... How would you deal with that? It is a great, serious topic to address. It kinda reminds me of how Rambo deals in First Blood... Imagine if he'd been secured by the police and put into an institution... hmmmmm The music is awesome too. Correct me if I'm wrong... That's all cool...

Yeah, James from Metallica says its based off of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Which is a great book, they made a movie out of it a few years later with Jack Nicholson.
