Looking through stained windows blue and out of my asylum The keeper of the key has lost the way and locked the doors behind him Beyond these walls and hallowed halls there shines a new horizon Draw the blinds cause in my mind I am a rock I am an island
Enter the asylum, sanctuary waits Through the gates of salvation never giving never living The keeper's pleased to own you, there is always hell to pay So on your knees and pray cause it's any given, any given day
Bleeding through the window pane a purgatory rain Is drowning me in sorrow will it wash away the pain Words before me answer not and yet forever trying I'd give my life, the life I live, to live like I was finally dying
Listen to the wind blow, something's in the air There's a bad moon rising Keep denying keep on hiding here In this house of the setting sun, counting one by one All my numbered days and it's any given, unforgiven, Insurrection, resurrection, any live long day
Halo of empathy, shine for all but you deny me Hate, rage, fear, they are here Shaking like a wounded animal Kept alive behind each door the keeper opens Is a haunting memory Whispers in the dead of night The shadows of the liars They have come for me
Halo of empathy shine for all but you deny me Hate rage fear they are here Shaking like a wounded animal
Please heaven rain on me Wash away my disease Halo of empathy shine on me I believe, shine on me
Release ten-fold this stranglehold And I'll be free to live like I was finally dying
Burning the asylum, embers through the air Through the gates of damnation Rising from the ashes nothings going to keep me here No one can ever own you, nor should you ever dare Embrace the fear of any given, be forgiven, Insurrection, resurrection, any given day
2) Strangers Like Me
And when it's said and done, dance with fate begun Battles lost and won, hold on, hold on
The May queen turns the key, unlocks a secret diary Words bleed endlessly, how long, how long?
And in a twisted mind truth and lies are intertwined Like a puppet on a string I bring the Keeper back to life
The world I believe breeds strangers like me Mortal asylums that shelter the disease Wandering without aim our devices shift the blame A death grip on a trigger, a plea of the insane Resonance of sympathy, frequencies disharmony Reversing my polarity, turns beauty into ugly Distorted bandwidth in our mind unravels wave lengths undefined Relentless and malign, cycling over and over
Hold, hold on, you're just a heartbeat away Hold, hold on, to any given day
