Asylum Acres

"Asylum Acres" is sort of a concept EP about places you would visit in dreams (or nightmares), out-of-body experiences, alternate realities, astral projection etc. There is also a common thread about angels. Or, more specifically, waiting for them in vain...everything happens for a reason, remember?

Lyrics: "Your Angels" Human bleedings on the wall Black shape fleeing down the hall Your angels, your angels... Where are they now? Human bleedings on the track Slip through the crack, break your mother's back Human bleedings on the page Your heaven on earth, your cage "Full of Flies" Looked in Into the river And saw the devil staring Back at me Looked in Into the sky And saw the angels smiling Down at me Look into my eyes My soul's so Full of flies "Asylum Acres" Did I piss on your parade? Drop a **** on your charade? Now I wait for answers Asylum Acres Did I pluck out your Third eye? Did you read Between the lies? Now I wait for angels Asylum Acres Now I wait for answers Asylum Acres Wait in vain for angels Asylum Acres "Dead River Co." Dead river flows through a dead-ass town Dead people wander round Dead sky rains down on a dead ground Are you gonna drown? Dead time for me Dead company Deathly strange breeze Howling through the trees Warnings never heed Never believe Dead time for me Dead company "Spell" She stole the heavens from your sky And showed a broken man to fly Cast a spell to block the sun And shone her light on everyone She cast your past into the well No future but you'll live to tell She led you to a river red Kaleidoscopes, loved ones undead Smiled and whispered in your ear Secrets that you long to hear Of visions, music in the wind No more pain. Magic. Light within... "Purgatory Chasm" (instrumental)
