Howard Lawrence - Hypnosis For Theatre lyrics

There he goes to the house of strangers He used to live there in constant danger Keeps the darkness locked away Head face down Now he's in the halls of magic Shhhh...don't make a sound Stretched out on the couch glazed eyes wide shut Tells a wild tragic story Feels the burn in his gut The doctor tries to wake him but he's just too drugged to hear Obsessed with all he used to be A captive of his fears There he stands in the house of strangers It's unfamiliar-they rearranged it A look of panic fills his eyes Hits the floor face down Breathe deep for the next half-hour Shhhh...let's go another round Stranded in a lime-green desert Chased by dogs through the woods Unprepared for the final exam Would scream for help if he could His doctor takes him deeper than instincts would suggest But this case seems untreatable This patient is possessed Doctor-I'm a wreck...here's your check Now can you help me here? You and I both know all too well I've been gettin it wrong for years and years How can I cut through these chains? Can I file a claim? There he goes from the house of strangers Crushed and torn apart from the flood of changes Speeds away... Can't look back Wants to die face down This time try to let yourself go numb We're goin way back now... Let's count off...1-2-3-to the ground! A grown man cries for the pain of his youth He doesn't waste time in the search for truth Vows not to punish the kids in his dreams But he'll never break the cycle It's not as easy as it seems No?
