Asylum was one of the more darker poems I wrote during my high school years. It's about an insane asylum obviously. Basically hearing the tortured words of others in your brain and you're sent to the looney bin to rot. You begin to see visions and paintings move in your head and everyone thinks your crazy. You are.

;-;

Pictures on the wall mock me as I pass by
I can't breathe, I'm hopeless but that's not why
Smiling eagerly to try and avoid the question you ask
So why don't you leave me alone and kiss my ass

Drink up, swallow the truth
I hear them talking, why don't you.
Knocking at the door, asking for sugar (sugar, gimme some sugar)

Oh noo~

Do you hear the voices babe

They tell me you're afraid

Of what were meant to be

Don't worry, its not you, its me.

They want me (they put me here)

They need me (they left me here)

They like me (I'm here to get better)

Open your mouth, take this pill
Everything will be stable soon
If your head explodes against your will
Then you'll be just fine

Oh noo~

Do you hear the voices babe

They tell me you're afraid

Of what were meant to be

Don't worry, its not you, its me.

They want me (everything is closing)

They need me (this jacket is way too tight)

They like me (were not supposed to have metal, but what about this knife)

I can hear them laughing, and it's bitter
Can't you feel the darkness creeping closer
Is the cigarette in your hand the closest you've got to a friend
These walls are meant to help you not hurt you

The paintings move but I'm standing still
Boys will be boys but the wound never heals
The hole in your brain you replaced with grenades is gonna detonate

Do you hear the voices babe

They tell me you're afraid

Of what were meant to be

Don't worry, its not you, its me.

They want me (they're gonna kill you)

They need me (they're telling me to)

They like me (they hate you)

I can hear them laughing, and it's bitter
These walls are meant to help you not hurt you
Don't be afraid..
