Asylum

歌詞

To the ones that we've forgotten and labelled as insane In institutions rotting secret mars of family shame Bound tightly and injected Subdued by pill regimes Suspended animation Pull the rug over the stain Mistreated and molested Fed food not fit for pigs If we're to call them human beings why treat their lives as shit? No chance of contribution to well-oiled society Viewed as manure walking wastes of very air we breathe Rejected disavowed Buried beneath our shallow smiles What do they mean for us and what do they deserve? Four padded walls – their coffins Underfunded understaffed In a putrid squalor wallow while the rich and perfect have a laugh Sons and daughters Brethren and kin Sisters and brothers from pictures are trimmed Out of our sight, out of our minds Where is the kindness on which this world prides? This is the coldest song a voice could ever sing It's destined to come out wrong We've done the damnedest things Oh, the humanity Denial so disgusting A life shackled rusting And business is booming We're vampires and should be ashamed At birth found unequal A real living freak show Throw them in a cell and forget their existence is pain What a shame A shrine unto torment To minds deemed delinquent Place holding placation The voiceless damnated can't scream Can you hear them scream? (solo) Mistreated and molested Fed food not fit for pigs If we're to call them human beings why treat their lives as shit? No chance of contribution to well-oiled society Viewed as manure walking wastes of very air we breathe Sons and daughters Brethren and kin Sisters and brothers from pictures are trimmed Out of our sight, out of our minds Where is the kindness in our humankind? This is the coldest song a voice could ever sing It's destined to come out wrong We've done the damnedest things Oh, the humanity
