Senses Fail - Institutionalized lyrics

Your rating:

Sometimes I try to do things, and it just doesn't work out the way I wanted to.

And I get real frustrated and like I try hard to do it.

I like take my time and it doesn't work out the way I wanted to.

It's like I concentrate on it real hard and it doesn't work out

And Everything I do and everything I try it never turns out.

It's like I need time to figure these things out.

There's always someone there going



Hey Buddy:

You know, we've been noticing you've been having a lot of problems lately.

You know, you need to maybe get away and like maybe you should talk about it,

you'll feel a lot better



I go:

No it's okay, you know I'll figure it out, just leave me alone I'll figure it out.

You know I'll just work it out myself.



And they go:

Well you know if you want to talk about it I'll be here you know and you'll

probably feel a lot better if you talk about it, so why don't you talk about it?



I go:

No. I don't want to talk about it. I'm okay, I'll figure it out myself but they just keep

bugging me and they just keep bugging me and it builds up inside.



So you're gonna be institutionalized

You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes

You won't have any say

They'll brainwash you until you see their way.



I'm not crazy - institutionalized

You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized

You're driving me crazy - institutionalized



They stuck me in an institution

Said it was the only solution

to give me the needed professional help

to protect me from the enemy, myself



I was in my room and I was like just sitting there staring at the wall thinking about

everything but then again I was thinking about nothing

And my mom came in and I didn't even realize she was there and she calls my

name but I didn't even hear it, and she started screaming BUDDY! BUDDY!

And I go:

What, what's the matter?

And she goes:

What's the matter with you?

I go:

There's nothing-wrong Mom.

And she goes:

Don't tell me that, you're on drugs!

I go:

Mom I'm not on drugs I'm okay, I was just thinking you know, why don't

you get me a pepsi?

And she goes:

NO you're on drugs!

I go:

Mom I'm okay, I'm just thinking.

She goes:

No you're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't act that way!

I go:

Mom just give me a Pepsi please

All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me

All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me.

Just a Pepsi.



They give you a white shirt with long sleeves

Tied around you're back, you're treated like thieves

Drug you up because they're lazy

It's too much work to help a crazy



I'm not crazy - institutionalized

You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized

You're driving me crazy - institutionalized



They stuck me in an institution

Said it was the only solution

To give me the needed professional help

To protect me from the enemy, myself



I was sitting in my room and my mom and my dad came in and they pulled up

a chair and they sat down, they go:

Buddy, we need to talk to you

And I go:

Okay what's the matter?

They go:

Me and your mom we've been noticing lately that you've been having a lot of

problems, you've been going off for no reason and we're afraid you're gonna

hurt somebody, we're afraid you're gonna hurt yourself.

So we decided that it would be in your best interest if we put you somewhere

where you could get the help that you need.

And I go:

Wait, what are you talking about, we decided!? My best

interest?! How do you know what MY best interest is? How can you say what

MY best interest is? What are you trying to say, I'M crazy? When I went to

YOUR schools, when I went to YOUR churches, when I went to YOUR institutional learning

facilities?! How can you say I'm crazy?



They say they're gonna fix my brain

Alleviate my suffering and my pain

But by the time they fix my head

Mentally I'll be dead



I'm not crazy - institutionalized

You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized

You're driving me crazy - institutionalized



They stuck me in an institution

Said it was the only solution

To give me the needed professional help

To protect me from the enemy, myself



Doesn't matter. I'll probably get hit by a car anyway.
