Asylum

Close to a decade of my life would fly by
School friends and I, we remain distant
They remained pissed off and twisted
Think they mad at me 'cause they
Didn't invite me for Christmas
Six of seven years will pass before this
And they writing on my fan page fall with
"What we do Paul for you
To just ignore us?"
Before I was a fallen tree up in the forest
Didn't hear me, well until
The chorus on the radio
Bellowed through those airwaves
Didn't see me fall, I hit the staircase
To stage staircase to airplane
And I ain't mad at them, I can imagine
They missing me, sometimes just listen to me
Listen to me, sometimes Glycerine
Into an open wound and it hurts
And see Perth is a small place
Know my mum's family was
There from the beginning
Witnessing the conviction
Listening when I needed them
Where were you? Probably sleeping in
Either that or you seem to
Be speaking in tongues
Some foreign language I don't understand
And you can run your mouth all you want
But I got bigger plans to be the bigger man

So I don't wanna talk for
The sake of talking
I don't wanna hear what they have to say
I don't wanna listen
Don't wanna listen if it's all the same
No I don't wanna hear it
I don't deserve to listen if
It's all the same no I don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna hear it

Nah, see i had the walking dead
Walkin' through the corridors
Force fed another corpses head
Course of meds till his legs were vegetables
But he wanted more
A connoisseur of chemicals
High off the gas a cosmognostic holocaust
Lost your peace of mind like Michael Jack
No Peter Pan
No one to blame when it's on your back
Schapelle, she taught me that
No walking backwards through the door
Vacuum packed into a room
Had me backed into a wall
A witches cauldron, smoke and mirrors
Hearing my name called then, ghostly shivers
Delivered down my spine in
The environment of violence
Like a zombie insomnia
Fucking sucking my eyelids
Don't lie, you liked hearing the screams
Of my inner demons
The difference between living and dreaming
My meaning of life tonight
Is just being alive
But at times it felt like an asylum
Simon gave me the alzheimers
Peter gave me the amnesia
See same faces each day of the week
But I don't understand the
Language that they speak

The asylum the asylum
The asylum

So I don't wanna talk for
The sake of talking
I don't wanna hear what they have to say
I don't wanna listen
Don't wanna listen if it's all the same
No I don't wanna hear it
I don't deserve to listen if
It's all the same no I don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna hear it
So why you gotta go and talk
For the sake of talking
I don't wanna hear what they have to say
(Have to say) I don't wanna listen
Don't wanna listen if it's all the same
(don't want to listen if it's all the same)
No I don't wanna hear it
I don't deserve to listen if
It's all the same (it's all the same)
No I don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna hear it

I don't want to hear what you have to say
'Cause it's all the same
It's all all the same
I don't want to hear what you have to say
Don't want to listen if it's all the same
It's all all the same
I don't wanna hear it
