Phantom Asylum Lyrics

Sentenced to live in the mind but I'm gonna break free
Psychic violence all around, they're coming for me

Creepy crawlies under the skin, I gotta scratch them out
This is taking far too long, I'm gonna slice a quicker route

Phantom asylum
Voices in my head
Phantom asylum
Flee or be dead

Dark shadows and white coats, gotta get away from the door
Screamin' like a demon, try to disappear in the floor

Injection, prevention, I can't let them get me sedated
They're bursting through, with a blinding light, I can't wait to make my escape

Waking up, white coats surround me, tell me what have you done
Paralyzed, I'm hypnotized by the light of the sun

Sentenced to live in the mind but I'm gonna break free
Psychic violence all around and they're coming for me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This track seemingly explores the desire to be liberated from one's psychotic mind. It delves into psychological torment, and the struggle to break free from these oppressive forces no matter what. The constant voices they live with have driven them mad trying to eliminate them. The title refers to an invisible prison that houses the mind, the sanity that gets pushed under a sea of madness; Which the protagonist desires freedom from.
