Asylum
The wind rustles echoes stir
Remembering what he did before
On the ground the victims lay
Flashbacks of that horrid day
Screams and questions fill his head
Blinded by the color red
Darkness haunts the sometimes scary
Memories created the imaginary
Blackened soul no guilt to feel
Haunted by what isn't real
Racing heart and gasping breath
Tightness grips his inner chest
Surging jolts and seizing death
Soon too he will be blessed
Medicated to believe the lie
Fighting back he couldn't try
Slowly his body now paralyzed
As this nightmare fills his eyes
His mind races his body shakes
Into this hell he now awakes
From the crazy dream he had
This new world seems not so bad
Shadows lurk in his room
Another personality he consumes
Staring at white blank walls
From the heavens rainbows fall
Was it my alter ego
Or someone I used to know
What happened what is real
This growing numbness I now feel
Vacant thoughts fill my head
Am I alive or am I dead
Imprisoned here no more to give
My minds asylum where I live
Remembering what he did before
On the ground the victims lay
Flashbacks of that horrid day
Screams and questions fill his head
Blinded by the color red
Darkness haunts the sometimes scary
Memories created the imaginary
Blackened soul no guilt to feel
Haunted by what isn't real
Racing heart and gasping breath
Tightness grips his inner chest
Surging jolts and seizing death
Soon too he will be blessed
Medicated to believe the lie
Fighting back he couldn't try
Slowly his body now paralyzed
As this nightmare fills his eyes
His mind races his body shakes
Into this hell he now awakes
From the crazy dream he had
This new world seems not so bad
Shadows lurk in his room
Another personality he consumes
Staring at white blank walls
From the heavens rainbows fall
Was it my alter ego
Or someone I used to know
What happened what is real
This growing numbness I now feel
Vacant thoughts fill my head
Am I alive or am I dead
Imprisoned here no more to give
My minds asylum where I live
