Asylum Lyrics by Ottilie Wallace

Throughout The Day

2024

[Intro]
Now look at us, it's a fight to the death
No one wants this, but it's never been our choice

[Chorus]
I seek asylum not knowing I'm safer out of there
Where the birds, they echo my voice
I seek asylum, I need help that I'm not gonna get
I'm safer out of there, the only one alive
I seek asylum not knowing I'm safer out of there
Where the birds, they echo my voice
I seek asylum, I need help that I'm not gonna get
I'm safer out of there, the only one alive

[Verse 1]
A jewel I see lying in thе dust
An open wire with 'bout 5,000 watts
Did the rulеs of war ever allow this?
As we stand in walls made of mahogany

[Chorus]
I seek asylum not knowing I'm safer out of there
Where the birds, they echo my voice
I seek asylum, I need help that I'm not gonna get
I'm safer out of there, the only one alive

[Verse 2]
Some old seashells and a copper penny
These things just lying around
The villain pulls up in his sports car, yeah
Isn't the world so wicked?

[Chorus]
I seek asylum not knowing I'm safer out of there
Where the birds, they echo my voice
I seek asylum, I need help that I'm not gonna get
I'm safer out of there, the only one alive

[Verse 3]
Monsieur Villon presses play on the old record
Sweet Caroline is screaming
Hallucinations of a little bird
A girl laughs with half her face, we're mad in here (*Laughter*)

[Chorus]
I seek asylum not knowing I'm safer out of there
Where the birds, they echo my voice
I seek asylum, I need help that I'm not gonna get
I'm safer out of there, the only one alive

[Verse 4]
Damascus knows that he's seen the light
I hope karma wins us all over
'Cause karma serves everyone right
But what did we do to be here?

[Chorus]
I seek asylum not knowing I'm safer out of there
Where the birds, they echo my voice
I seek asylum, I need help that I'm not gonna get
I'm safer out of there, the only one alive

[Bridge]
I broke my vows, I broke my heart
I broke my mind, I broke my conscience
I broke my vows, I broke my heart
I broke my mind, I broke my blood

[Chorus]
I seek asylum not knowing I'm safer out of there
I went there for love, and that's how I came out
But I lost my love and I lost my mind
I'm safer out of there, the only one alive
I seek asylum not knowing I'm safer out of there
Where the birds, they echo my voice
I seek asylum, I need help that I'm not gonna get
I'm safer out of there, since I'm the one who won

[Outro]
And all the rest are gone
And I'm the one who won
