lyrics

When He Is Sane (Richard Clare)

When your life is on the rise again
See a picture on your shelf
Find that things will always be the same
Just a step beyond all help (x2)

Chorus

Let me out, let me in
Falling slowly a voice begins
It threatens gently, delusions fear
Will always haunt his inner ear

He’ll end it now when he is sane
Doesn’t want that hell again
Death is simple, death is safe
Unless his voices follow to the grave

Time to think is time to fall again
Now he’s getting deeper in
At the party no one leaves but then
No one you could call a friend (x2)

Chorus

Let me alone, I’m so alone
Where’s the life that I have known?
There’s nothing about me it doesn’t know
It’s never going to let me go

He’ll end it now when he is sane
Doesn’t want that hell again
Death is simple, death is safe
Unless his voices follow to the grave

Verse 1 (repeat)
