Take me away.
Take me away to the asylum;
locking me up, tearing me down to my knees.
Straight jacket bound; no getting free.
Melting my eyes...
No more air to breathe.

What to you mean I'm fine?
It was you who left me behind,
rolling in the dirt. But fuck, whatever works.
Sight to blind the skies melting through my mind.
Bleeding walls haunt me.
I'm gripping on for my life.

What do want from me?
You're there but they can't see.
Why can't you just leave?
You're only make-believe.

Drifting away; violence is an alibi.
Near becomes far, no one knows just who you are.
Only scars ripped my flesh.
Pain is the cause.
Losing perception of reality.

What do want from me?
You're there but they can't see.
Why can't you just leave?
You're only make-believe.

Put me in a padded room.
Push the needle in my flesh.
Sedation is the only way
to free me of my consciousness.

Now I don't know myself.
Lost in thought, I need no help.
Stripped to segregation, controlled by population.
Menace to the world.
Handed to me my own death.
This asylum...
I'm putting it to rest.

What do want from me?
You're there but they can't see.
Why can't you just leave?
You're only make-believe.

Put me in a padded room.
Push the needle in my flesh.
Sedation is the only way
to free me of my consciousness.
