ALBUM - THE ASYLUM

PADDED ROOM

Chasing down hourglass sands

Hear the wheezing souls

A sunny day a rainy day

Please rid me of these trolls

A blurry smell no gates of hell

A place of mystic praise

There may be red but I’m not dead

It’s the way That I was raised

And I say

Hey hey hey yeah

In my Luxurious Padded Room

The water and drinks are free

So come on in and share my doom

Hear the songs that I sing

Take a sip but don’t you slip

You’ll find your seat soon

When the lights dim low take in the show

In my Luxurious Padded Room

I never touch the ground I fly

Stack the bricks and stones

Truth or dare there is no lie

In this eternal home

Some say it’s late and we’ve seen our fate

But walls can’t contain me

Stumble I may I still find a way

That sets my spirit free

And I say

Hey hey hey yeah

In my Luxurious Padded Room

The water and tea are free

So come on in and share my tomb

Hear the songs I sing

Take a sip but don’t you trip

You’ll find your seat soon

When the lights dim low take in the show

In my Luxurious Padded Room

Padded Room

Since you’re here you gotta

You gotta meet my friends

Don’t your fear that they’re all just skeletons

We’re all just here trying to make amends…

Let me brush the sand from your eyes

So you may look unto the sky

Drift within the Promised land

You’ll find your reason why

And so I send for you my friend

To drift within this fantasy land

The fire’s warm the drinks are free

We make this with or beaten hands

And I say

Hey hey hey yeah

And I say

Hey hey hey yeah

MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

You're ok in the daylight

You walk around and you feel alright

You play the game, you seem sane

You know your thoughts, you know your name

What's hounting you in the middle of the night

You need someone to hold you, to take away your fright

You see danger on the left, and danger on the right

But what do you do when the danger's inside

Who do you turn to to save your own life

In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night

You start life lost in the crowd

With an emptiness, you scream out loud

In a catatonic state, you're a puddle on the floor

'Till you let go of hate, and find yourself once more

What's hounting you in the middle of the night

You need someone to hold you, to take away your fright

You see danger on the left, and danger on the right

But what do you do when the danger's inside

Who do you turn to to save your own life

In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night

You hope no one comes through your door

When your body's like this, curled on the floor

You don't know what to do, don't know where to go

You can't hear a sound as you lie on the ground

Your body won't move, your mind is helpless

Your thoughts have let you down...

...thoughts have let you down

Verse 1

Chorus....

THE ASYLUM

Welcome to the asylum, we're all crazy in here

We take plenty of medicine, we chase it down with beer

We're being led by the criminally insane

Don't care who they kill, don't care who they maim

But me, now I'm just crazy for you

Had to send out a drone today

Took care of people who got in your way

But that's ok, cause before it was sent

Intel said they had a nuclear sub in their tent

But me, I'm just crazy for you

people criticize us, try to analyze us

We know we're right, say the voices in our heads

And when they don't know, we do another line of coke

And make it up instead

Now brother and sisters, we're gathered here today to learn the truth is overrated

Because the truth cannot be tainted, and the truth cannot be manipulated

Therefore, whatever you do, don't think for yourself

Join us in our fantasy, where the truth is always what we want it to be, that's right, the truth is only what we want it to be

I know it's tough to get our of this place

With all the shit they stuff in your face

But I see no reason to get down or blue

We'll just keep this party going till we make it through

Oasis

Went to the desert to play

And that was yesterday

The night was twisted in fear

But my vision was clear

I see I've lost my way

Another red sunrise

The sand tears at my eyes

The nights are bitter cold

Today's an inferno

I've just got to survive

What if it's just a mirage

It could be just a mirage

Another day in flames

My blood's boiling my brain

A voice behind me says

There's water just up ahead

If I can reach it I'm saved

But what if It's a mirage

It could be just a mirage

Went to the desert and stayed

My fevered dreasm led me astray

And now it's time I'll drown

In this ocean of brown

Crows at my grave

It was all a mirage

It was all just a mirage

It was just a mirage

It was all a mirage

It was all just a mirage

It was just a mirage

DEATH OF THE INNOCENT

Somethin' happened 'round here, not long ago

Somethin' happened 'round here, not too long ago

17 Dead Wednesday morning,

and they won't be coming back

Blood in the schoolyard, innocence lost

Evil has no mercy.....death of the innocent

Shelter in place, hide in your closet

We've got to stop it, tell me how to stop it

People out there preachin' hate,

sayin' we're on our own

We've go to make it alone

We know they're wrong, we have to stick together

Cause we're all neighbors in this world.....

death of the innocent

The purpose of leaders is to care for your people

I said, the purpose of leaders is to care for your people

If your people suffer, shame on you, shame on you

If your people are dying, you have no reason

No reason to be, you cannot justify.....

death of the innocent

I'M A MAN

I'm a man I'm a man

I write songs tell ya stories

Diesel dust guns & glory

I'm a man I'm a man

No sangria no wine

I take it straight

My Kentucky 'shine

Yes I'm a man I'm a Man

Come walk with me

Come talke with me

I say walk with me

Come rock with me

I'm a man I'm a man

I rush life but don't hurry

Tell your tale I'll be judge and jury

I'm a man yes I'm a man

Come on over try my barbecue

Watch the sun set

With an ice cold brew

Yes I'm a man I'm a man

Come walk with me

Come talke with me

I say walk with me

Come rock with me

I'm a man I'm a man

I hit the open road with a 30-odd and a fishin' pole

Guitar picks and drumsticks feed my soul

I'll pass it on when I grow old

'Cuz I'm a man, Yes I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man

NIGHTMARES

I'm Violets are blue, your blood is red

You left your window open, now he's under your bed

He's a creepy clown, they hunt in every town

He's a creepy clown, they can't shut down

He's a creepy clown, and now he's under your bed

Wake up, wake up

Let me save you from your nightmares

I'll kill your demons, chase away your fears

Let me save you from your nightmares

Cause I'm the one who cares, I'll always be there

Rollin' down the road, you're all alone

There's no cell reception, you have no phone

You see the headlights through the rear window

They're getting closer and there's nowehere to go

Three men in a fast car, and now they're after you

Wake up, wake up

Let me save you from your nightmares

I'll kill your demons, chase away your fears

Let me save you from your nightmares

Cause I'm the one who cares, I'll always be there

YOU

Just another Friday night sittin' here all alone

Heading out on the town, running solo, that's no surprise

Looked down the bar, locked eyes with your body

Right then my life stopped spinnin'

And my world woke up like a sunrise

You, you poured right through me

Are you from around here?

You fell into my soul, how did you just appear

You landed right in my mind,

guess it took just a little time

Won't you make love to me, nowhere you gotta be

Won't you make love to me

It's where you want to be

I've been herfe all alone all the time

Where the hell have you been?

In my mind I dreamed you, didn't know just who I am

Let me love, let me touch you

Show you how we can make this work

Don't run stay right by my side

We're done being alone tonight

I've been here all alone, all the time

'Till you poured right through me

Let me love, let me touch you

Never gonna lose me

CAUCHEMAR

I knew this city

Huddled in my dreams

It was built of anger and the

sound of muted screams

I went there searching

For someone I might know

Who had lost their wasy down there

So deep in the darkness below

I came to your château

And I could see inside

The shadows moving at the edge

Of my fading candle light

Music slowly liftin'

Adrift in all these whispers

What hiding my deception

I've lost my destination

Back home

Take me back home

So I pulled back the curtain

So I could better see

The dancers behind masks

My own face staring back at me

Every moment of pain and anger

And the lust was what they wore

I could feel my soul drift

As they swept me across the floor

This is your dance they say

It's natrual that you shall lead

And after we have our fill

Then we'll together feed

Swaying and-a gliding

The faces meserizing

Trying to remeber the way

That gets me

Back Home

Find my way home

I need to get home

Take me back home

The scars I bear from that night

At dawn's light now revealed

And the beat of my telltale heart

Tells me there's nothing left to conceal

My thoughts betray my fear

And I'm pulled back to this blackened place

It always finds me first

And takes me in its warm embrace

A scent of recognition

The swing of a pendulum

I just close my eyes

And drift in the maelstrom

Music slowly lifting

Adrift in all these whispers

What's hiding my intention

I've lost my destination

Back home

Take me back home

I need to get home

Find my way home

Back home

CHAMBRE D'ISOLEMENT

À la poursuite des sables du sablier

De loin les âmes sifflent leurs sons

Un jour ensoleillé un jour de pluie

Débarrasse-moi de ces cons

Une odeur vague une idée qu’on drague

Un lieu d’esprits pardonnés

Si je me mets en colère ce n’est pas grand affaire

C’est comme ça j’ai été élevé

Et je dis

Hé hé hé yeah

Dans ma Chambre d’Isolement Somptueuse

Les boissons sont gratuites

Tiens ma main partage mon destin

Écoute les paroles je te dis

Goûte à ton gré censé pas tomber

Il faut que ta place soit prise

Tamise les lumières

Le spectacle se digère

Dans ma Chambre d’Isolement Somptueuse

Je ne touche jamais au sol je m’envole

Empile les briques perpétuels

Action vérité y’a pas de mensonges

Dans cette demeure dite éternelle

On dit que l’heure se fait tard le temps devient vieillard

Mais ces murs ne peuvent pas me contraindre

Si le chemin est perdu j resterai résolu

Mon esprit s’envolera libre

Et je dis

Hé hé hé yeah

Hé hé hé hé yeah

Dans ma Chambre d’Isolement Somptueuse

Les boissons sont gratuites

Tiens ma main partage mon destin

Écoute les paroles je te dis

Goûte à ton gré censé pas tomber

Faut bientôt que ta place soit prise

Tamise les lumières

Le spectacle se digère

Dans ma Chambre d’Isolement Somptueuse

Somptueuse

Comme tu es là

Connaître mes amis tu devras

N’aie pas peur même si

Des squelettes ça sera

Nous sommes qu’ici

Pour nous faire pardonner

Permets-moi d’essuyer le sable de tes yeux

Pour que tu puisses voir le ciel si curieux

Erre sur des terres promises tu auras traversé le feu

Et alors pour toi je fais un appel lointain

Pour qu’on s’accompagne dans un monde sans fin

Le feu est brûlant les breuvages gratuits

Nous le faisons avec nos mains meurtries

Et je dis

Hé hé hé yeah

Et je dis

Hé hé hé yeah
