In ambient asylums
They live, sane as I
These emptiest apologies
Decay now and die
In fire and security
You flash through my brain
My all-intact identity
When I was losing my mind
That was all I hoped to retain
The towers of the universe
Align way up high
The sky completes their symphony
If they can measure the hours
Why oh why can't I?
It's only forever now, a matter of time
It's only another wall as yet unclimbed
Am I still the sum of nothing
Misguided, suddenly drained?
If I'm about this new corrosion
The slow emotional rate of change
Have I shown an easy target
Destructions that follow so well?
I rail against that ultimatum
Delivered in this untidy hell
They live, sane as I
These emptiest apologies
Decay now and die
In fire and security
You flash through my brain
My all-intact identity
When I was losing my mind
That was all I hoped to retain
The towers of the universe
Align way up high
The sky completes their symphony
If they can measure the hours
Why oh why can't I?
It's only forever now, a matter of time
It's only another wall as yet unclimbed
Am I still the sum of nothing
Misguided, suddenly drained?
If I'm about this new corrosion
The slow emotional rate of change
Have I shown an easy target
Destructions that follow so well?
I rail against that ultimatum
Delivered in this untidy hell
