• Asylum

    Bleeding shadows seep across the sky;
    Rain down on this wretched place

    The darkness comes too fast again
    I'm a prisoner of my own mind

    rotting chains unbroken,
    stain my mind with infectious rage

    I'm strapped to a chair,
    Straight jacket chafing,
    ears ringing
    in this asylum

    It won't be too long
    not too long,
    before another psychotic outburst tears me from reality

    As I wait,
    the voices scream in my ears

    they carve words into my flesh,
    tears flow in blaring agony

    Feverish sweat joins my tears in agitation

    There's only one thing I can do

    My only escape is the one thing that imprisons me

    I now thirst for the escape,
    like my sickness thirsts for its release of dizzy insanity

    It arises

    Like a wave crashing down,
    it obliterates every last thread of sanity

    I'm like an empty shell

    waiting for the end
    waiting for the end
