The Asylum

{Instrumental} 

Em Bm D A 
Em Bm D A 

 
Em                      Bm 
   The grass is turning black 
                       D 
The concrete starts to crack 
              A 
In the middle of a bright neighborhood 
Em                     Bm 
  There's moss along the walls 
                    D 
Possessed abandoned dolls 
          A 
Radiate a failed parenthood 
Em                 Bm                       D 
  I play connect the dots between both of our flaws 
                A                  Em 
Asking God if I have a relation to you 
                  Bm              D    A 
Neighbors pass us by and then I realize 
 

 
     G                 D                             Bm 
It's easy for me to forget that there are people out there 
                  A              G 
No one knows about the asylum in here 
                         D 
I could crawl around the park 
             Bm 
Deaf to your remarks 
                  A 
Don't you feel mbarrassed?" 
             G 
No, I am not here 
            D                     Bm 
Cold wintr days in the middle of May 
        A           G 
But I'm not a believer 
 

 
Em                  Bm                       D 
   Collectibles are fading, holes in picture frames 
                  A 
We were lucky the red walls were never white 
Em             Bm                        D 
   A zombified girl remains from what is burnt 
               A 
She's got game counters instead of eyes 
Em                       Bm                         D 
   You scrape me off the floor whilst trying not to yawn 
             A 
I'm making a scene in high society town 
Em               Bm                   D       A 
   Shake to wake me up to make me look around 
 

 
     G                 D                             Bm 
It's easy for me to forget that there are people out there 
                  A              G 
No one knows about the asylum in here 
                         D 
I could crawl around the park 
             Bm 
Deaf to your remarks 
                  A 
Don't you feel mbarrassed?" 
             G 
No, I am not here 
            D                    Bm 
Cold wintr days in the middle of May 
        A           G 
But I'm not a believer 
 

 
    G                          D 
You told me that you talked to people on your walks 
     Bm 
Well, I don't believe you 
A 
  Cause none of that is true 
    G 
I'm violent and psychotic 
D 
  A well known solipsistic 
Bm                         A              G 
   Collecting firewood and reading ritual books 
                   D 
I make an outline around this house 
Bm                          A 
Flicking on the flames, I'm counting down 
      G                        D 
I'll sleep under the ashes all over the ground 
       Bm                   A 
A philosophical ending to a scientific song 
  G                D 
Maniacal behavior hits you when you're young 
      Bm               A 
Guess I'm the only one 
 

Outro 

        G                 D                             Bm 
It's so easy for me to forget that there are people out there 
                     A              G 
They don't know about the asylum in here 
                         D 
I could crawl around the park 
               Bm 
Deaf to your remarks 
                  A 
You should feel embarrassed 
               G 
Cause I am not here 
            D                 Bm 
Cold winter days, but I am not afraid 
    A                     G 
And you'll never believe her
