Asylum

Narrow walls, a single bed
Cans of beer from previous night
Fairy lights for just a little bit of vibe
Weekend's worth of dirty dishes
Empty glasses, packs of crisps
Days seem to be flowing by but
Time is standing still

Hope in the hearts still burning
Still bits of purity remain
Unsullied by the world
The dreams that got us started
Still alive, thriving in this time
And life is quite alright

Painting of the sky, bought at freshers fair
One of many manifests of
Inner self
Carton boxes in the corner waiting till July
Days keep flowing by and I'm now
Running out of time

Memories of the early days
The new and the unknown
Moments you'd have never guessed
They weren't meant to last too long

Hope in the hearts still burning
Still bits of innocence remain
Unsullied by the world
The dreams that got us started
Still alive, still we're pushing on
Encouraged by our own
Created our own asylum
Above the broken world
Now's the time to go
See what's down below
