Jovian - Institutionalized lyrics

Roll out the red carpet for the star playing himself This is, this is about to get interesting So this is all that they have come to expect of me? It's become obvious that they are no longer respecting me A bunch of pseudo doctors surround and start inspecting The rush of social status continues infecting me This mantra savors defeat and offers ample in return Organized strikes on the willing, who just sit and wait their turn I've been letting this ghost haunt me freely Flicking an on/off switch with my sanity Torn apart as I'm stretched to my limits My mind's given up, my mind's lost it's faith in me I'm losing feeling in the feelings my feelings feel This is yours, this is yours to claim This is your snake pit of a f**ing daydream Look into the eyes of the recluse The allure gets stronger no matter how hard you refuse Kiss the fangs just to see if they'll strike Entangled further in the web the harder you fight So is this all they've come to expect of me? Mystery be damned they'll prop me up and dissect me Prodded like cattle amidst the herd I can feel them directing me So this is all that they have come to expect of me Mystery be damned they'll prop me up and dissect me Prodded like cattle I can feel them direct me Alone in my conscience where only I can neglect thee This mantra savors defeat and offers ample in return Organized strikes on the willing, who just sit and wait their turn I've been letting this ghost haunt me freely Flicking an on/off switch with my sanity I've been letting this ghost haunt me freely Flicking an on/off switch with my sanity Torn apart as I'm stretched to my limits My mind's given up, my mind's lost it's faith in me I'm losing feeling in the feelings my feelings feel
