Harry Heart - Asylum Lyrics

I retire for days
Trying to meet the demands of my mind
Getting older you clutch for some closure
Like a child to a waistline
Well in prison papa said he learned his lesson
And I doubt I will ever learn mine
I go poor when I need you no more
I am done with your confines (yeah)

(Oh) this is the life, right
(Yeah babe) waiting on a word with the worst kind of appetite
(Oh) this is the life, right
(Yeah babe) waiting on a word it's the worst it's the worst

Well the Systrum asylum was scarily silent
For too damn long
Brushing up on the premise of luck
You've got none and you want more
Well the teeth that'll bite you
Fires will fight you, you're waging a war
Sober up, don't get down on your luck
Don't get desperate on a dancefloor (yeah)

(Oh) this is the life, right
(Yeah babe) waiting on a word with the worst kind of appetite
(Oh) this is the life, right
(Yeah babe) waiting on a word with the worst kind of appetite

It's not what I want, not what I want
Man I've been here too long
It's not what I want

I want to be hated from time to time
If that's what I want then I deserve the asylum
Finally caved in, paid for the crime
If you're stuck in a basement
Then you're stuck in asylum

(Oh) this is the life, right
(Yeah babe) waiting on a word with the worst kind of appetite
(Oh) this is the life, right
(Yeah babe) waiting on a word it's the worst it's the worst
