Awkward moments in the asylum,
between angels that we've seen,
with sorry eyes and dirty faces,
madness lived in total silence,
distress pushed to extremes.
Dual signs dwell in between the minds,
lost in the fog between the sky and the sea!
Down on their knees, they sing and they pray,
a sad choir of hope and despair from a script
that shouldn't have ever been written for you or me.
There's no light left within you!
Loose those gray-colored glasses,
the man residing inside of you
took refuge a bit too late,
this story lasted a bit too long!
