Asylum Lyrics - 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
