Asylum Lyrics by Silverchair
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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 a rain upon my skin inside a winter
But you begin to splinter
If I decide to recognize my thorns

(Chorus)
'Cause every time I see your face in a cloud
I'll feel no violence
So tilt the world until it turns me around
To my own asylum dry in the day
I'm fading away in the night

I feel the sun before it's light
And it fades away into the night
I was afraid I'll feed myself or clean this shelf
And kill the shame

But I can feel it in the night
Collect the rocks and throw them overboarders
To shake the mighty waters
And clear myself from hiding every thorn

(Chorus)

And we grow
For we gone away right out the window
You judged a fool for hating

(Chorus)
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 a rain upon my skin inside a winter   But you begin to splinter   If I decide to recognize my thorns      (Chorus)   'Cause every time I see your face in a cloud   I'll feel no violence   So tilt the world until it turns me around   To my own asylum dry in the day   I'm fading away in the night      I feel the sun before it's light   And it fades away into the night   I was afraid I'll feed myself or clean this shelf   And kill the shame      But I can feel it in the night   Collect the rocks and throw them overboarders   To shake the mighty waters   And clear myself from hiding every thorn      (Chorus)      And we grow   For we gone away right out the window   You judged a fool for hating      (Chorus)
