White walls
White ceiling
White linen
White uniforms
Clinically surrounded!
Feeling insane
Feeling stoned
Feeling tired
Feeling tamed
Clinically safe!
Thrills in pills
Strips of drips
A maze of faces
Spaces and phases
Clinically medicated!
Anaesthetics and needles
Electric shocks
Blood level checks
And constant observation
Clinically together ?
