Welcome To My Asylum

 

My life’s been a trip

I’m not right I see a lot

That I just can’t forget

Mountains move the afternoon

Rainbows drown the air

The leprechauns said they’re from Mars

And they’re dancing in my hair

 

I’m all out of reasons for the things that I’m seein’

What am I supposed to do ~ Just accept the asylum

The river quotes rhymes and the ocean killed a mime ~ say what

My life is like a zoo ~ The asylum welcomes you

 

I feel a little strange

I saw the moon drop a lude and howl at itself

May and June talk to spoons while April braids a bear

My neighbors ~oh~ they’re just bizarre

And the birds are playing bridge in my bedroom

 

I’m all out of reasons for the things that I’m hearin’

What am I supposed to do ~ Just accept the asylum

Now the ocean quotes rhymes and the river’s killin’ time

Say what ~ My life is like a zoo

The asylum welcomes you

 

You say I look quite confused but it’s ok now

I think it’s best to refrain ~ Welcome to my asylum

 

Confused or not I really like my life

Don’t misunderstand me

The mystic blue pills are really cool

But the red ones truly kick

 

Last night was a mess

Angels clawed at the walls and partied in my head

Elves were dancing in the nude and gave me a fat lip

Mrs. Claus gave me the bird

While Santa stabbed an elf in my bathroom

 

  Assclown

 

You think you’re really special

You think you’re better than everyone else

Push your beliefs

Tryin’ to cram them up our ass ~ You know

Demanding us to agree with your world

What did you say ~ I wasn’t listening

You’re an ass ~ Leave me alone

 

Hey you ~ Assclown ~ leave

Don’t push your agendas on me

Just leave ~ Please

Stop tellin’ me what to believe

I need to breath

Just leave me alone to be me

 

You think your politics are superior

And your views on societal woes

You act all knowing on a great many issues

In spite of what you may think

Everyone’s laughing ~ They’re laughing at you

Now I’m laughing too

 

You’re days of politicizing your personal views

Will surely come to an end for you

We’re not ignoble or as bad as you might think

We’re just tired of your fascist ‘tude

What’s offensive ~ offensive is you

You’re just an ass ~ oh ~ Leave us alone

 

Hey you ~ Assclown ~ Leave

Don’t push your agendas on me

Just leave ~ Please

I’m better at just thinking free

I need to breath

I think I’ve just got to be me

Can You Feel It

You ~ You’re making me ill

Droppin’ those pills

Just to get your thrills

It’s leavin’ you hollow inside

With nowhere ~ Nowhere to hide

 

Can you feel it

Can you feel it

Why can’t you see

 

You ~ You’re just makin’ things worse

Drinkin’ your way into the ground

A hallowed ground

 

Can you feel it

Can you feel it

Why can’t you see

 

Oh you’re just freakin’ me out

The white lines ~ They turn you inside out

It’s not hard to see

You’re not where you’re meant to be

Why ~ Why can’t you see

 

What you’re tryin’ to do to yourself

Is so insane

Tellin’ us over and over again

You can refrain

You’re always tellin’ us

It’s under control ~ your control

 

Open your eyes ~ you’ve gotta realize

Open your mind ~ Look deep inside

You’re not where you’re meant to be

Look in your heart ~ We were here from the start

Yes we were ~ Now it’s time to wake up

Do you feel it

Look in your heart ~ We were here from the start

Can you feel it

Can you feel it

Can’t you see

Open your eyes ~ Look at the sky

You’re losing time

Open your mind ~ you’re losing time

What you were meant to be

Look in your heart we were here from the start

Yes we were

Here from the ~ Here from the start

 

Oh just stop playin’ the fool

You’re just not cool

when you stand there and drool

And stumble about

We are where we are meant to be

Right ~ Right by your side

 

Can you feel it

Can you feel it

Can you feel it

Can you feel it

Nobody’s Home

 

You don’t hear a thing ~ ‘cause you’re never listening

Always unaware ~ to all who call you friend

Waves and smiles just a trend

You don’t see the forest for the trees

Living aimlessly ~ That’s all we see

 

Are you living in reality ~ Tell us what you see

Your words spin like carousels

Listening ~ We wonder if you’re there

Do you register ~ Are you really there

 

Always a parade in the eyes of your life

When you reach for the stars you ignore all the light

An enigma shrouded in mystery surrounded by riddles and clues

You’re always lost ~ Lost at sea

BUT

You tell us you follow your visions in life

Each and every day

It’s not a surprise when we look in your eyes

The lights are on but nobody’s home

 

Nobody’s Home

 

 

We fail to see where you’re going with things

Your thoughts never seem to have a point to them

Decision you make just don’t jive with reality

Always ~ your plans ~ They sputter and stall

You prefer to live in your fantasy

You can’t seem to get it through your head

You can’t force a square peg through a round hole

 

You don’t see anything ~ ‘cause you never look

Simply unaware

Still don’t see the forrest for the trees

Waves and smiles still a trend ~ To all you call friend

Are you finished with your fantasy

Tell us what you see

Your words spin like carousels

Listening we wonder if you’re there

Do you register ~ Are you anywhere

Always a parade in the eyes of your life

When you reach for the stars you ignore all the light

An enigma shrouded in mystery surrounded by riddles and clues

You’re always lost ~ Lost at sea

BUT

You tell us you follow your visions in life

Each and every day

It’s not a surprise when we look in your eyes

The lights are on but nobody’s home

 

Nobody’s Home

Nobody’s Home

Analytic NIGHTMARES  3000  x  3000 TEST

      Desire

I’ve been with you all your life

Transcending you and everyone else

I give illusions ~ Self control

I witness what can’t be undone

 

All I hear you say every day

Gimmie this ~ Gimmie that

I’m the one you can’t see

My thoughts are your dreams

Dreams are desires

I won’t be kind ~ I won’t be fair

Just so you know ~ That’s how life goes

 

It’s the same old thing

Gimmie this ~ Gimmie that

You’re never satisfied

You want more

You want it all

You’re not above it all

That’s how it goes because

 

I am the reason ~ I’m what you want

I invade everybody’s life

I am the one thing you’ll always have

My name is DESIRE

I am the reason ~ I’m what you crave

Have you ever wondered why

I am the one thing you’ll always DESIRE

And I am Called

 

It’s no secret you’d sell your soul

To acquire all that you want

What you did can’t be undone

It’s not enough ~ You want more

 

What you say every day

The same sad thing

You want everything

I’m the one you can’t see

My touch is a dream

Dreams are Desires

I’m not kind ~ I’m not fair

Just so you know that’s how it’s gonna go

 

It’s too late ~ Too late

I’ll make you wish you never ever met me

You placate ~ Too late

You ground yourself down and wore yourself out

It’s too late ~ Too late

You’re gonna find out what it’s really all about

You stayed late ~ Too late

You never really had control

 

You’re still under my spell I see

Pain of greed ~ Hunger needs

It’s not what you thought it would be

That’s too bad ~ You’re not getting my sympathy

Goes to show ~ You don’t know

You never learned a thing

 

What you say every day

The same sad thing

You want everything

I’m the one you can’t see

My touch is a dream

Dreams are Desires

I’m not kind ~ I’m not fair

Just so you know that’s how I’m gonna roll

 

You fail to see ~ You deny

I’m growing stronger day by day

You never had control

I do as I like because

 

I am the reason ~ I’m what you want

I invade everybody’s life

I am the one thing you’ll always have

My name is DESIRE

I am the reason ~ I’m what you crave

Have you ever wondered why

I am the one thing you’ll always DESIRE

And I am Called

       Nightmares

 

I just want to see your fear

When I tell you why

You should fear the sounds at night

The sounds that go bump in the night

Noises from within your room

They’re waiting ~ Waiting for you

 

I just want to see your eyes

As you look under your bed

And when the lights go out

And where they go at sunrise

I just want to feel your fear before it eats you

 

They’re Nightmares

No one is safe ~ Adults don’t believe in dreams

They’re Nightmares

You’re not alone ~ Grownups they used to see

They’re Nightmares

No child is safe when the lights go out

They’re Nightmares

It’s all very real

 

You don’t wanna’ know about

The butcher in the basement

Or the Ogre in the attic

Either way you’re gonna find out

Well you know the house on your street

Where the dare is a scare

It belongs to old lady Mirth who you never see

But you know she’s always there

She’s watching your every move

She’s watching you

 

They’re Nightmares

No one is safe ~ Adults don’t believe in dreams

They’re Nightmares

You’re not alone ~ Grownups they used to see

They’re Nightmares

No child is safe when the lights go out

They’re Nightmares

 

When the lights die your boogieman’s there

Monsters in your room ~ Sweating in fear

You scream out loud

Eyes wide ~ You ask ~ Who’s there

 

Do you remember the woods by your house

The sounds you know you heard

The thing in the deep dark woods

It knows when you’re alone

Watching you when you’re going home

Waiting until night comes along

 

When the lights die your boogieman’s there

Monsters in your room ~ Sweating in fear

You scream out loud

Eyes wide ~ You ask ~ Who’s there

 

Worldwide children see the same things

Shapes and shadows all night long

The creepy things crawling on their walls

Oh yes they scared you too

 

When the lights die your boogieman’s there

Monsters in your room ~ Sweating in fear

You scream out loud

Eyes wide ~ You ask ~ Who’s there

 

Looking around ~ The familiar is gone

Strangeness surrounds you

There’s no hope till dawn

 

Psychotic pander

Beware the man with the Hurdy Gurdy

 

Your little room ~ Changed from the day

It’s dark and nasty

It’s ready for play

 

The thing in the tree out on your lawn

It’s alive ~ It’s moving ~ It’s moving towards you

It bangs on your window ~ It wants to get through

It hears your breathing ~ It’s coming for you

When you’re alone nobody can hear you scream

 

The creepy clown your grandma got

It had a murderous look

So you put it deep in the closet

But now it’s looking at you

Well you see its arms reach out

You know it wants to kill you

Pulling up the sheets in fear

You try hard not to cry out

 

It doesn’t matter much

You hold your breath and you pray

Pray for it to go away

And see the light of day

 

They’re Nightmares

No one is safe ~ Adults don’t believe in dreams

They’re Nightmares

You’re not alone ~ Grownups they used to see

They’re Nightmares

No child is safe when the lights go out

They’re Nightmares

It’s all very real

 

It happens every time at night

You see your little night light

Giving you a hazy view

The shadows are coming for you

You really want the big light on

To keep the monsters away

You don’t want to see the things

When the lights die out

 

It really doesn’t matter much

You hold your breath and you pray

You pray to see the light of day

Another day

 

They’re Nightmares

No one is safe ~ Adults don’t believe in dreams

They’re Nightmares

You’re not alone ~ Grownups they used to see

They’re Nightmares

No child is safe when the lights go out

They’re Nightmares

When the lights die your boogieman’s there

Monsters in your room ~ Sweating in fear

You scream out loud

Eyes wide ~ You ask ~ Who’s there

      The Visitors

 

I can almost see them

They’re not quite there

I don’t know who they are

They hound me everywhere

Why do they watch me

What do they want

The visitors who come in the night

 

I see them here

I see them there

They’re in my head

They’re everywhere

Look what’s become of me

On the run

Day and night

I’m losing sleep and my mind

They’re getting close ~ I hear them say

 

Night

We need more time before we go into the night

 

Flyin’ through city streets

Runnin’ fast

I’m not free

They follow me everywhere

Runnin’ down alleyways

Find a door ~ duck in there

Their voices call haunting me

 

Why do you follow me

What do you want

Why are you tryin’ to drive me insane

 

We are the night ~ We are your…..

 

I feel them there

Why do they follow me

What do they want from me

Forever closer ~ Step by step

Why do they bother me

Why can’t they let me be

Why do you follow me

I hear their footsteps

I feel their breath

 

Runnin’ hard

Through the woods

I find a path

In the trees

They followed me from my dreams

Down a path

In a row

I find a house

But it’s old

Their voices still calling me

 

We need more time till we go into the night

 

Up the stairs

Down the hall

I find a room

I lock the door

It doesn’t do any good

Back downstairs

‘round the floor

I find another

Broken door

They’ve broken every damn thing I’ve done ~ Why

 

Go into the night

We need more time

Till we go into the night

Go into the night

We need more time

Night

We need more time

Night

We need more time

Night

We need more time

Till we go into the night

We need more time

Night

 

Mindwipe

 

Mindwipe

What are you doing to me

Get away from the walls

You’re blinding the light

of the wondrous things that I see

 

Look at me ~ I’m standing alone

Watching you ~ You’re freakishly obsessive

Looking at me ~ My eyes are glassy hollows

Watching you ~ You can’t understand what you see

 

I know what it is to play alone

I hear shadows in the wall

I hear sparrows in the hall

Screaming obscenities at the wall

 

Mindwipe

Stop forcing the thorazine dreams

I can taste the lithium nights

The sparrows are calling to me

 

Look at me ~ I’m standing alone

Watching you ~ You’re freakishly obsessive

Looking at me ~ My eyes are glassy hollows

Watching you ~ You can’t understand what you see

 

I know what it is to play alone

There are shadows in the in the wall

I hear the sparrows in the hall

Screaming obscenities at the wall

 

Mindwipe

What are you doing to me

I just want to show you the night

And the wondrous things that I see

I. Eleanor

II. Crimm

III. Lights In The Window

IV.Crimm

V.Eleanor (reprised)

 

I. Eleanor:

 

All her life~ A lone silhouette

Amid the Leering ~ Faceless crowd

Ignoring words ~ Fear filled hate

Even the children curse her name

 

The Lady Vanadder is crazy, so they say

She belongs to them ~

She belongs to the home

Confused by their words and hateful stares

She’s never done anyone harm

How many times has she heard

She’s one of them ~

She’s one with the home

 

Confronting her father

He tells what he has known for all these years

He’s afraid for his dear ~

His dear girl Eleanor

Oh my girl ~ Forgive me

 

Running out the door

To her secret place to pray

The forbidden deep dark wood

Her haven from the hate

Drawn to a light in the distance

As twilight darkens the sky

There stood the man called Crimm

Her childhood boogieman ~ RUN

 

II.CRIMM:

 

Waiting with lifeless eyes he glares

His head turns slowly with an evil wicked grin

 

Looking into his eyes she cries

He knows her and she knows him

 

He’s the demon of her dreams

His lips in a curl he calls out her name

 

Turning to run her mind plays the rhyme

Of the man called Crimm and his rotting old home

 

Screaming down the primrose path

The childhood chant plays over in her mind

 

Again and again echoes the rhyme

Did Crimm call her name or was it the home

The childhood chant grows louder and louder

And louder

 

III. Lights In The Window:

 

Lights in the window ~ Stay away

Crimm is on his way

You better run ~ You better hide

Don’t let him hear you cry ~

He’ll eat your soul alive

 

Crimm played no whim

Neat and tidy his home ~

To the mentally insane

Treated they were ~ No doubt

And buried the dead ~ The pleasantly sane

Beware this man

 

His kindness took a turn when he opened an urn

He let loose the original evil

It ate the souls of the insane

Dementedly turning on Crimm

 

Twisting his body and mind

Becoming part of the home

He’s now a slave to the home

Now he’s one with the home

Lights in the window ~

Stay away

Don’t let him hear you cry ~

He’ll eat your soul alive

IV.CRIMM

 

Walking the cobblestones as you’ve done before

One thought on your mind

Bring her home

You lurk in the shadows and you wait

As the light in the window breaks

The voice calls

 

Chorus

 

Stealing into the house

Her father squares up to you

Too bad for him ~ Dispatched like a toy

You open her door

You finally see Great Granddaughters eyes

You see the purest of souls

Why are you having second thoughts

Do the bidding the home demands

Bring her home

 

V. Eleanor

 

A young life ~ Picturesque

The home found its way easily

Honest heart ~ Purest soul

A pound of flesh the home needs

 

The lady Vanadder is crazy so they say

She’s one ~ She’s one with the home

Visions of all the hateful stares

Her family’s legacy

How many times has she heard

She talks ~ She talks to the home

Every day it’s the same

She just turns and sheds her tears

When she hears ~

Eleanor ~ Welcome Home

 

Every home has its secrets

Every home has its heart

Every hour is eternity

When it’s truly dark

And when the twilight rides

You see the nevermore

All the things you fear are clear

When it comes to your door

 

 

(To Be Continued)

 

Twilight Coming Home

 

See her walking fear in hand

Her light has fade away

Feel the void of timeless whys

As Twilight claims the day

 

She hears them screaming

She dreads the feeling

They’re always screaming

The pitch increasing

What can you say for your life

 

Reach the Nevermore be damned

No soul can find its way

Feel the gaze of long lost eyes

All souls just fade away

See the wall of heavy hands

A thousand waves of shade

 

They look right through me

as if they knew me

They’re talkin’ to me

As if to move me

What’s at stake is

more than your life

 

Twilight coming home

She looks, but she’s fading in pain

She cries for something that’s sane

She’s lost what feelings remain

She wants her life back right now

 

Feeling her world

Slowly slipping away

She’s bound to the path

Where the Eventide waits

 

Glazed over eyes

Watch her spiral descent

While the rotting of flesh

Marks her fate from the depths

 

 

Void of feelings

Psyche reels

Minds are screaming

Flesh has peeled

 

Feelings of dread fill her pain

The dark has something to say

For now Eleanor has no say

The Twilight has her soul now

 

See her walking in empty lands

As Twilight fades away

See her walking empty hands

Her shadow fades away

 

She’s reached the Nevermore she’s damned

Her Angels have lost their way

 

Twilight fades to black

She sees the Nevermore

The horrors that unfold

Screams forever more

 

A presence that is old

Older than you know

It’s coming from the home

Closer to its goal

 

The twisted hands of Crimm

Refuse to let her go

Witness evil grow

The Angels have gone home

 

Eyes peer through the void

We feast upon lost souls

Come unto the home

Eleanor come home

Eleanor come home

 

The rotting hands of Crimm

Still won’t let her go

See the rabbit hole

How deep you think it goes

 

 

No words can fill the gap

The shredding of a soul

A shroud of darkened mass

We’ll feast upon her soul

 

She sees a Silhouette

Comes the Nevermore

Eleanor Come home

 

Twilight fades to black

The madness that unfolds

You’ll scream forever more

In the Nevermore

 

A presence that is cold

Coming from the home

Her eyes have fade to black

See the rotting souls

 

Decaying flesh of old

Screams the Nevermore

The rabbit hole is black

Evil has this hole

 

There is no turning back

She’s gone into the hole

The silhouette still calls

Come unto the home

 

It’s late this coming of day

The screams from lost souls gone insane

The home emanates growing rage

We’ll have our pound of flesh now

 

Knowing her world

Slowly slipped far away

She’s bound to the home

where the evil awaits

 

Glazed over eyes

watched her spiral descent

While the decaying flesh

Marked her fate from the depths

No more seeing

Psyche reels

Minds are bleeding

Flesh has peeled

 

When the Twilight rides

You see the Nevermore

The evils that arrives

You Speak never more

 

All the things you fear

Knocking at your door

Don’t be so afraid

Open up your door

Open up your door

 

Welcome home my dear

Welcome Eleanor

Whether or not you like it

You’re home
