lyrics

9. Get out

He used to be so lively and free
So full of feelings for the living and growing
But all you can say now is:
It's all over now
Since he was lost and found back again and people said he was
In a terrible state
Meanwhile no one knew
What had happened at all

The few ones who were related to him
Had him taken to a fine hospital room
And gave permission to examine the case
All could see there was more
Then one change
He didn't look like
He looked before
To be honest
He seemed not the same at all

Don't give up yourself get out
Don't give up yourself
You bette r get out

The colour on his face
Used to be more bright
His lively eyes used to see more light
What's more
He seemed more dead than alive
The loud tones he didn't hear
A pale smile from ear to ear
Why he was in silence
Wasn't quite clear

Came the time of his first angry attack
Killed several nurses and he strangled his doc
It was clear that something had to be done
Now he lays in his hospital bed
His clenched fists tied and a cap on his head
He don't look alive
But more just like a living dead

Here he lays in his hospital bed
His clenched fists tied and a cap on his head
He don't look alive
But just more than a living dead
With his face
Much more white than before
His eyes filled with more hate than before
He strengthened
