(Original song lyrics written and copyrighted by this poster.)
Teach children to fear me, not to go near me, I'm crazy, can't you see? The neighbors all say, "Just put him away, He's not fit for society!" Looking at life through rose colored blinders, They like what they don't see. Think of themselves as normal and sane So they don't have to understand me.
My mind is a prison where I sit on Death Row Waiting for a morning light that never comes. The executioner is my soul, and he tightens the noose A little more each everlasting hour Until the dawn, and I'm waiting for the dawn.
The men in the white coats, telling their white lies, Whitewash the tragedy. The hospital takes me, feeds and sedates me, But they're not fooling me... Counting the days 'til the bills won't be paid By my insurance company. Thrown out the door, no pretense of a cure, I'm released but I'm not free!
My mind is a prison where I sit on Death Row Waiting for a morning light that never comes. The executioner is my soul, and he tightens the noose A little more each everlasting hour Until the dawn, and I'm waiting for the dawn. I'm still waiting... Waiting for the dawn.

Wow I liked it! I would love to hear it sung. I have a pretty creative mind (most would say sick ), so I have already come up with a bunch of different musical styling, since all I have to work with is the Lyrics. I can see this done in the style of everyone from Ossie Osborne in full regalia to Marie Osborne seated pertly on a bar stool in a lone spot light. Better yet how about Jim Morrison or Alanis Morissette. The possibilities are endless - or they would be for someone with any musical talent - which excludes me unfortunately. Any way to post a recorded version of the song? I would love to hear your original take on it. Great lyrics!!

Unlike a couple of my other songs, I never actually recorded this one on demo, but I'll play with the notion...
