Go inside the asylum

Go inside the asylum

Where flesh rots away

You'll want to find a way out

They'll tell you drugs are the only escape

But happiness wasn't meant to be chemical

Like love was never meant to be a metaphor

We want more

More then days in a hungover mindset

We want more

More then memories we spend our lives trying to forget

All for fear or regret

Grow

Or admit that you are dead

Go inside the asylum

You're not awake yet

There are tiny lights

Escaping your lips

Those words of life you spoke

Now lighting some of your darkness

Your heart is like cracked concrete

Oh, you need to concentrate

If you want to be free,

You'll need to do far more then just hide away

Go inside the asylum

There are things waiting for you

Once you're inside

It's your choice what you'll do

A brush with the devil will strengthen your spine

Keep standing and you'll be fine

Keep your head,

Oh precious one

Prove to the world that you're not the crazy one

Go inside the asylum

See what media tries to disguise

See people tearing away their flesh

People determined to starve to death

People trying to die

When they've been given precious life

The ladies in white shoving pills down their throats

Pumping their veins full of poison but calling it hope

Go inside the asylum

See what it's really like inside

Maybe then you'll want more

More then rebellion and resentment

More then freedom and enlightenment

Go inside

Stay a while

Flesh rots in there, smell it in the air

You're sane, and they know it

You're okay, but they'll try to disprove it

This worlds an asylum

Learn to live and survive

Maybe your sanity will save a life
