Behind Deaths Doors
In asylums they threw us away
Tried to hide us from light of day
We were different easy to see
But we were treated horribly
Poked and prodded and beaten down
No one to help for miles around
Always drugged so we cant fight
To experiment on us wasn't right
On their tables we laid on display
For medical students to see every day
Naked and cold we couldn't escape
We had to accept this was our fate
The only way out was death by a hand
The sweetest thing in this wasteland
Forgotten are we because no one will see
The horrors we still endure eternally
Were not gone and we'll never be
We roam these halls halfway free
We escaped the torture but still cant see
How we gained no sanity
If inside you want to look
Remember here our bodies shook
Our screams you'll hear upon your ear
We just want out so do not fear
You'll run away and lock the door
Were used to that and nothing more
Just stay out and let us be
Were happy here somewhat free
One day surely well see the sky
When clouds have lifted and gone on by
So pray for us whenever you can
Were all alone in this lonely land.
