Can you hear the screaming
It echoes through the halls
They don't want to be here
So they bang on the walls

They hear voices of invisible people
That only they can hear
They grow louder and louder
As they echo in their ears

Some see people trying to kill them
Others see people dying
The doctors say the treatments are painless
But the patients know they're lying

Though the reasons may change
Most never get to sleep
So they sneak out of their rooms
And through the halls they quietly creep

Really? I thought you were poking fun at mentally ill people. A real cheap shot for Halloween I suppose. It's about dead people coming back to life. How'd it turn to crazy folk like me. No offense intended but I was offended even if it wasn't intended.
