Asylum Lyrics by Alex Lear

Memorywall

0

[Verse 1]
Well I sit here everyday and I've been wondered
If they’re ever gonna let me free
The days are slow and I feel my life is wasting
Forty glazed eyes watching the TV
And you told me you'd be coming 'round to visit
But I can’t remember if you have been here
I'm looking through the glass
At all the brown and withered grass
And I'm scared that this is where I'll spend my final years

[Verse 2]
The nurses here all speak to me so kindly
I know to them I'm just another chore
They're allowed at any time to leave this prison
While the code won't let me open up the door
I know you'd take me home if you were able
But society has chained you with its rules
I was taught soon after birth
To cherish freedom and my worth
Yet in the end I’m only a disgarded tool

[Chorus]
If I live to see another sun
I’ll know that I at least have won this battle
I need so badly to be seen
As one clear voice trapped in between the prattle
Do you think that I could join you on the other side
To give me one more chance to feel like I'm alive
In this asylum
Oh yes, in this asylum

[Bridge]
I read another article from Newsweek
Just to find the issue’s two years old
Still I swear I heard this story somewhere
I figure that my memory's getting cold

[Verse 3]
They tell me that is why I have to live here
I tell them I have never felt so well
But when I lay back in my bed
I can't remember what was said
And I prayed to be delivered from this shrinking hell

[Chorus]
If I live to see another sun
I'll know that I at least have won this battle
I need so badly to be seen
As one clear voice trapped in between the prattle
Do you think that I could join you on the other side
To give me one more chance to feel like I’m alive
In this asylum
Oh yes, in this asylum

[Outro]
Well I sit here everyday and I've been wondering
If they're ever gonna let me free?
Are you ever gonna let me free?
I said, are you ever gonna let me free?
Why do you leave me here?
Please don't leave me here
