Silverchair - Asylum Lyrics
Contained in my cotton cribWhere I feel no turbulenceThe ocean sleeps upon a shelf and it feeds my apathyBut i can feel it in the nightLike rain upon my skin inside a winterBut you began to splinterIf I decide to recognise my thorns'Cause every time I see your face in a cloud I feel no violenceSo tilt the water 'til it turns me aroundTo my own asylumDry in the day, and fading away in the nightI feel the sun before it's lightAnd it fades away into the nightI was afraid, I feed myselfI cleared the shelf and killed the shameBut I can feel it in the nightCollect the rocks and throw them over bordersTo shake the muddy watersAnd clear myself from hiding every thorn'Cause every time I see your face in a cloud I feel no violenceSo tilt the water 'til it turns me aroundTo my own asylumDry in the day, and fading awayAnd we grow, before we go over the windowsYou're just a fool for him'Cause every time I see your face in a cloud I feel no violenceSo tilt the water 'til it turns me aroundTo my own asylumDry in the day, and fading awayDry in the day, and fading awayDry in the day, and fading away in the night
