    For those who have ever been locked up on the psych ward



    Tangled up in the madhouse
    My dreams are lies
    My lies are prayers
    I'm a spider caught in its own web
    Shocked at the situation

    But with a stroke of pure faith
    I will be set free
    Free to participate
    Free to tangle myself up in this mad land
    Where my dreams will be tested
    And my prayers will be valid

    I like the first three lines the best. "Tangled up in the madhouse/ My dreams are lies/ My lies are prayers" There's just something very "je ne sais quais" about those lines. I really like it a lot.

    Peace and love

    cool metaphor of the spider web and the madhouse... the harder you try to get out, the more entwined you become
