  • This night is alive with the smell of insane
    It's reaching for me and it's calling my name
    I beg for silence to drown out their weep
    How did this asylum become where I sleep

    So ashamed of waking
    All my life you failed to keep me safe
    My whole world's forsaken
    Won't let you destroy my faith again

    All my questions get no answers
    Locked up tight from the world outside me
    No, no
    Mommy come get me out tonight
    All my questions have no answers
    I can feel the fear inside me
    No, no
    Mommy come get me out tonight

    So close I almost could taste my own grave
    My moment of selfishness caused by your pain
    Almost threw this life you gave me away
    In this institution for you now I pray

    So ashamed of waking
    All my life you failed to keep me safe
    My whole world's forsaken
    Won't let you destroy my faith again

    All my questions get no answers
    Locked up tight from the world outside me
    No, no
    Mommy come get me out tonight
    All my questions have no answers
    I can feel the fear inside me
    No, no
    Mommy come get me out tonight

    Forgive me
    With wings adorn me
    So I can fly

    All my questions get no answers
    Locked up tight from the world outside me
    No, no
    Mommy come get me out tonight
    All my questions have no answers
    I can feel the fear inside me
    No, no
    Mommy come get me out tonight

    Mommy come get me out tonight Publisher: BMG Rights Management, Reservoir Media Management, Inc.
