Asylum

Silverchair

Contained in my cotton crib

Where I feel no turbulence

The ocean sleeps upon a shelf

And it feeds my apathy



But I can feel it in the night

Like rain upon my skin inside a winter

But you began to splinter

If I decide to recognize my thorns



'Cause every time I see your face in a cloud

I'll feel no violence

So tilt the water 'til it turns me around

To my own asylum

Dry in the day, I'm fading away in the night



I feel the sun before its light

And it fades away into the night

I was afraid I'll feed myself or clean the shelf

And kill for shame



But I can feel it in the night

Collect the rocks and throw them overborders

To shake the mighty waters

And clear myself from hiding every thorn



'Cause every time I see your face in a cloud

I'll feel no violence

So tilt the water 'til it turns me around

To my own asylum

Dry in the day, I'm fading away



And we grow

For we gone away right out the window

You're just a fool for him

For him (x2)



'Cause every time I see your face in a cloud

I'll feel no violence

So tilt the water 'til it turns me around

To my own asylum

Dry in the day, I'm fading away (x3)

In the night
