alex lear - asylum lyrics

[verse 1]
well i sit here everyday and i’ve been wondered
if they’re ever gonna let me free
the days are slow and i feel my life is wasting
forty glazed eyes watching the tv
and you told me you’d be coming ’round to visit
but i can’t remember if you have been here
i’m looking through the glass
at all the brown and withered grass
and i’m scared that this is where i’ll spend my final years

[verse 2]
the nurses here all speak to me so kindly
i know to them i’m just another chore
they’re allowed at any time to leave this prison
while the code won’t let me open up the door
i know you’d take me home if you were able
but society has chained you with its rules
i was taught soon after birth
to cherish freedom and my worth
yet in the end i’m only a disgarded tool

[chorus]
if i live to see another sun
i’ll know that i at least have won this battle
i need so badly to be seen
as one clear voice trapped in between the prattle
do you think that i could join you on the other side
to give me one more chance to feel like i’m alive
in this asylum
oh yes, in this asylum
[bridge]
i read another article from newsweek
just to find the issue’s two years old
still i swear i heard this story somewhere
i figure that my memory’s getting cold

[verse 3]
they tell me that is why i have to live here
i tell them i have never felt so well
but when i lay back in my bed
i can’t remember what was said
and i prayed to be delivered from this shrinking h+ll

[outro]
well i sit here everyday and i’ve been wondering
if they’re ever gonna let me free?
are you ever gonna let me free?
i said, are you ever gonna let me free?
why do you leave me here?
please don’t leave me here
