The Asylum Lyrics

Screaming in the night

Hearing words of fright

Something isn't right

Can you turn on the light

Look up above, where is the sun

Why can't I see, what is happening to me

Completely empty on the inside

Nothing to grab me to bring me out

Everything that haunts me

A reflection of myself betrayed

Why can't I just be myself

Lied about what I couldn't tell

The image you saw in your head

Is not the one I had instead

Blind

By the thought you have inside

Worsening the thought of me

You choose not to see

What you know you believe

Blind

I'm not who you want to be

I give love to set you free

I am what I am

Can't I be my own man

Possessed

Expectations haunting me

Seeing only what your eyes want to see

Look at your own lies

Can't change what won't abide

Possessed

Lies revolving in my head

Told myself you really loved me dead

You don't know the real me

Just the one you choose to see

Open my eyes to who I really am

I was an enemy not a friend

But now I really see

True love inside of me

Take me away from this race

So I can find my place

I am not a nutcase

Try to control my taste

Don't try to erase

What you think I waste

All the things I chase
