I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
 I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away

 Wake up the little boy
 Puppet to be destroyed
 Your privacy betrayed
 Take take take your life away

 Cold silent words come out
 Been stolen from your mouth
 Corrupted me this way
 No, I will not obey

 Institutions
 I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
 Out to you I reach
 I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
 Through the walls I creep
 I woke up inside to see the outside

 Nightmares they strip away
 Toxic humanity
 Captive to my own mind
 Fictions on which I thrive

 Sick man's reality
 Robs the awakening
 Changes what once was real
 Searching for what I feel

 Institutions
 I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
 Out to you I reach
 I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
 Through the walls I creep
 I woke up inside to see the outside
 Did you get em

 Born of god
 We build a cage
 Inside a saw
 With no escape
 My revelation
 Now it takes control
 Man's fallen, world asylum
 Can't be, can't be
 Is this what we deserve?

 Institutions in my head
 Institutions in your head
 Institutions in my head
 Institutions in your head
