Dear Sanity (original song)

Dear Sanity,
I'm writing you this letter just to tell you how I've been
This last season of heartbreak, it has all but done me in
She told me that she loved me then she said she had to go,
And whether she'll come back to me, I guess only God knows.

Dear Sanity,
It's cold and lonely in this room with padding on the walls,
Am I the only one who hears her whisper in the halls?
No one else can see the face that's etched upon my mind,
And Solitaire with 51 can't help me pass the time...

Dear Sanity,
I really miss the outside world and all its simple thrills,
And I'm so sick of taking all these stupid mental pills
The voices in my head won't shut up when I need to sleep
But any time I feel alone, they never make a peep!

Dear Sanity,
What I wouldn't give to just take my straitjacket off
The canvas is so itchy, why can't it be Snuggle soft?
And they just shoot me up with drugs when I try to complain,
It's no wonder I'm in here, 'cause I'm truly insane.

Dear Sanity,
Someday soon I hope we can get back in touch again
'cause I don't want to stay at the asylum I've been in
I hope this letter reaches you, I know it's been a while
Since I talked like a normal guy and made you laugh and smile...
...oh wait, that's Ariel I'm thinking of, whatever, never mind.
But I guess that it's excusable since I have lost my mind.
