Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Padded white walls in a cold dark room
Locked inside the quiet of a self-made tomb
Clocks ticking backwards, static on the wire
Brain full of kerosene, heart full of fire
Whispers in the corner, shadows on the floor
Trying to find the key to a deadbolt door
They say I’m out of mind, say I lost control
Just another inmate in a broken soul!

(Pre-Chorus)
Strapped to the gurney, feeling the strain
Trying to find a shelter from the driving rain
Pull the emergency brake on the track
There ain’t no turning back!

(Chorus)
Welcome to the asylum!
Where the voices run the show!
Welcome to the asylum!
Where the sanity runs low!
Break the glass, tear down the cage!
Welcome to the asylum!
Unleash the rage!

(Verse 2)
Heavy bass rattling the concrete floor
Boot kicking hard on the iron door
Syncopated pulse keeping me alive
Only the strongest on the edge survive
Give me the straightjacket, tighten up the seam
Drown out the echoes of the silent scream
Let the groove hit like a sledgehammer swing
Listen to the choir of the madness sing!

(Pre-Chorus)
Strapped to the gurney, feeling the strain
Trying to find a shelter from the driving rain
Pull the emergency brake on the track
There ain’t no turning back!

(Chorus)
Welcome to the asylum!
Where the voices run the show!
Welcome to the asylum!
Where the sanity runs low!
Break the glass, tear down the cage!
Welcome to the asylum!
Unleash the rage!

(Breakdown)
(Slow, crushing, down-tuned groove)
Lock me up...
Throw away the key...
You can't cure...
WHAT'S INSIDE OF ME!
WHAT'S INSIDE OF ME!

(Bridge)
They call it a sickness, I call it the truth
Burning out the quiet of a wasted youth
No pills, no doctors, no false decree
The asylum is the only place I'm free!

(Chorus)
Welcome to the asylum!
Where the voices run the show!
Welcome to the asylum!
Where the sanity runs low!
Break the glass, tear down the cage!
Welcome to the asylum!
Unleash the rage!

(Outro)
Unleash the rage...
Lights out.
Session over.
Welcome to the asylum.
