Hyatt Balch - The Asylum

Screaming in the night
Hearing words or fright
Something isn't right
Can you turn on the light
Look up above, where is the sun
Why can't I see, what is happening to me

Completely empty on the inside
Nothing to grab me to bring me out
Everything that haunts me
A reflection of myself betrayed

Why can't I just be myself
Lied about what I couldn't tell
The image you saw in your head
Is not the one I had instead

Blind
By the thought you have inside
Worsening the thought of me
You choose not to see
What you know you believe
Blind
I'm not who you want to be
I give love to set you free
I am what I am
Can't I be my own man
Possessed
Expectations haunting me
Seeing only what your eyes want to see
Look at your own lies
Can't change what won't abide
Possessed
Lies revolving in my head
Told myself you really loved me dead
You don't know the real me
Just the one you choose to see
Open my eyes to who I really am
I was an enemy not a friend
But now I really see
True love inside of me

Take me away from this race
So I can find my place
I am not a nutcase
Try to control my taste
Don't try to erase
What you think I waste
All the things I chase
