When you wake up to white walls
and endless halls
There's an emptiness
that echoes through it all
So you sit back in your bed
with your mind medicated
and your senses stuck
on the sick side of the bed

You call for the doctor,
it's all you've got anymore
It's the ticket to the life you had before
If I could just make him see
that I don't need this

Doctor, doctor, what am I here for?
Can't you see that I don't need this place?
I don't need these walls
I'm no threat at all
Doctor, doctor, what am I here for?
Can't you see that I don't need this place?
I don't need these walls
I'm no threat at all

Is there a way we could maybe,
through therapy,
find a way to right and release me?
I just need to be outside,
vanish supervised
Back to my job, back to my life
Yes, I know what I've done
and I regret it every day
If I could make things right,
I know I'd finally,
but when I wake up to these white walls,
to the endless halls, to the hospital
I get lost in the emptiness
that echoes through it all

Doctor, doctor, what am I here for?
Can't you see that I don't need this place?
I don't need these walls
I'm no threat at all
Doctor, doctor, what am I here for?
Can't you see that I don't need this place?
I don't need these walls
I'm no threat at all

Doctor, I can't thank you enough
Doctor, I can't thank you enough
Doctor, you won't regret this
Doctor, you won't regret this

Doctor, I can't thank you enough
Doctor, I can't thank you enough
Doctor, you won't regret this
Doctor, you won't regret this

Doctor, doctor, what am I here for?
Can't you see that I don't need this place?
I don't need these walls
I'm no threat at all
Doctor, doctor, what am I here for?
Can't you see that I don't need this place?
I don't need these walls
Doctor, doctor, what am I here for?
Can't you see that I don't need this place?
I don't need these walls
I'm no threat at all
