My name is Chris Palko And I'm a former patient Of Stony Lodge Hospital [Verse 1:] You dropped me off and left me here and started your vacation Away from me with your new family I got no invitation If you don't think he's abusive it's because he's in your ear If I don't see things your way then I'm not thinking clear? I was just in your house going to school again for validation Pissed you off now I'm in the hospital eating medication And if I tell them I don't want to take something I'm still myself But the d** they're making me take are making me want to k** myself And if I try to refuse meds and they force it in me Everything they write on my chart is a block of bring me [Hook:] Down Why you gotta tie me down? Kick we while I'm on the the ground? There's nothing you can take from me now Cause all I've had has been thrown out So why you gotta tie me down I was only trying to figure it out Would like to get up but I'm tied down [Verse 2:] When you wake up drugged it's tough to get your thoughts sorted Then you realize you're tied down about to be drawn and quartered But there's no horses about to rip you limb from limb But the tranquilizer in your blood is what they give to them And after thirteen hours of being tied to a bed Due to shuffle the hallways, f** off, and die in your head Thought when I made it out I'd be carried and celebrated Thought of who I was when I went in, got out, he didn't make it out Who would think every stupid thought that you contemplated Would convolute what was constituted as complicated? Permanently faded necessary that they calm me right You drag yourself around for days relate to zombie life I saw a light, desperately trying to move near it But I'm plagued with thoughts as soon as I leave I hope they tear it [Hook:] Down Why you gotta tie me down? Kick we while I'm on the the ground? There's nothing you can take from me now Cause all I've had has been thrown out So why you gotta tie me down I was only trying to figure it out Would like to get up but I'm down When I get there... Let me in...
