Asylum Lyrics - Abysmal - The Black Dahlia Murder

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

We've Got Handwritten Lyrics From Americana Sensations The Lone Bellow 

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 

Photos 

A shrine unto torment 

To minds deemed delinquent 

Place holding placation 

The voiceless damnated can't scream 

Can you hear them scream? 

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
