The Asylum

Em     Em     Cadd9     Am    B


[Verse 1]

Em
Crying in the still of the night
               Cadd9
A yearning for shelter
                     Am
Silence kissing your wounds
              B
Soothing your pain
Em
Darkness, and what do they know
                                    Cadd9
'Bout losing direction clutch at a straw
             Am             B
Cherish the hope to make it finally
C       D     Em
hooo..ooooo...oome...
C       D     Em
hooo..ooooo...oome...
Am      B    Em
hooo..ooooo...oome...
Am      Cadd9  D
hooo..ooooo...oome...

[Verse 2]

Em                 D
   You long to be see through
Em                D
   So nobody can tell
Em               D
   Whenever they made you
   Cadd9      Gmaj7
   Bleed your pride away
Em
   Now you're driven by a one track mind
    G         D
   Initiating you
Em
   Splendid flowers
    D                A
   Blossom from the wounds
Em
   The stronger the poison
       G                    D
   The sweeter smells the bloom

[Pre-Chorus]

             Am                Bm
   Don't you try to stand your ground
                C           D
   Cause you're only coming home

   To the heart of


[Chorus]

Em
fire, you're home, found asylum
     C               C/G      D
In a world where the broken dance
   A                G G/F#
On shards of glass, I see
Em
fire, ruins and fire, and fire
     C               C/G    D
In a world where the broken dance
     A
With shattered dreams


[Verse 3]

Em                 D
   It's burning inside you
Em                 D
   This emotional hell
Em                 D
   And you keep on smiling
     Cadd9  Gmaj7
   Upon the icy tiles
Em                     G                D
   A stream of fire to sweep the fears away
   Em
   Seems like forever
       D                  A
   Too long you've had to wait
Em
   Plunge in darkness
       G           D
   For wicked harmony

[Pre-Chorus]

       Am           Bm
   Little angel thrown away
           C            D
   Sure'll be back another day

   To the heart of


[Chorus]

Em
fire, you're home, found asylum
     C               C/G      D
In a world where the broken dance
   A                G G/F#
On shards of glass, I see
Em
fire, ruins and fire, and fire
     C               C/G    D
In a world where the broken dance
     A
With shattered dreams


[Bridge]

C
   Now see the cornered children
                      D      Em
   I see them off the beaten track
                              Bm       C
   Embracing and crying  (freezing and dying)

   Concealed humiliation

   Now let them dance
  C/G  Am             Bm
   Liberation cruelty-free
           C                 D
   Dance towards the gallows-tree

    Am                 Bm
Bogyman was sought and found
    C               D
Bogyman has found a home
n.c.
In the heart of


[Chorus]

N.c.
fire, he's found, the asylum
     C               C/G      D
In a world where the broken dance

On shards of glass
