Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - Live At Reunion Arena, Dallas, TX / February 5th, 1989

Welcome to where the time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Labeled mentally deranged

I dream the same thing every night
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
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, come on!
Just leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there
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
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, yeah, leave me the fuck 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
It seems the only way
For reaching out again, reach
