Asylum Written by Ryan Matthew I'm trapped in an asylum Where all I hear is screams I'm not a lifer; I've planned my escape And it's sooner than it seems I cannot lose my mind Because it's no longer there I'm not a lifer; I'll pack my things And hurry to go elsewhere My brief moments of silence Are disrupted soon once more I'm not a lifer; I block out the voices Like many times before Sometimes when all you want Is to finish your fantasy… I'm not a lifer; yet my eyes open And I hear more than I see The screams have come again They'll return at the suns rise I'm not a lifer; I don't want to be Am I the sole one who tries? I can't explain the reasoning I can't speak to the cause I'm not a lifer; I never will be I can only sit here and pause © 2011 Ryan Fan Club
