[asylum]

it's different now.. can't explain it but it is
walking through this maze's left me lifeless in a ditch
lifes a bitch i was told'n didn't really think it's true
but at this point in life my angel sings a different tune
It changed with hope i had for people and days to come
things change slow before ya even know that you're different
one day a trust fall turns downward spiral ina instant
heading towards our final dance into mist out in the distance
my only regrets not giving her the present of faith for christmas
race through the light to find my halo but it's harder than i think it is
until you're neck deep in a swamp but thirsty enough to drink the shit
sometime's i wonder if this death march is my guardian testing me
feeling familiar tug on my heart's strings in her memories testament
she's in each step you take, and every decision you take to heart
they show resemblance to our fates by making mistakes our mark
our wax is sealed on a letter. It's opened at the gates
as a flame grows in the dark bullets are smelted that hold our names
hardened forces who love their countries fight for central banks
where familiar phrases whistle past some open scars that cover pain
i saw my angel before she left wearing a grim expression
as she was being beamed to the mothership
a yellow light showed in the red beam being beamed up to it hovering
it shone right around her figure long after she'd disapeared
forgot that light for years until one day i saw a person in the street
a glimpse in the eyes of a stranger dropped me to knees
she stopped dead in her tracks screaming and started to cry
but the light grew as bright as the sun and I started to fly
i stand where i kneeled with a broken halo waiting for the sun
just a shadow in a dream of better days that never come
