"Burning Fire"....

Sick and tired of living this way....

Sick and tired of being filled up with dismay....

Time to change, time has come, yeah times been wasting away....

No regrets, no looking back, but no longer may I stay....

.. ..And this is all I have to give, it’s everything I am and everything I’ve been....

This is all I have to give, I have to live, be who I want to be....

Sick and tired of living this way, I’m so sick and tired!....

.. ..And now here I stand not knowing why....

Torn between what’s wrong and what I know is right....

Still I fight, fight to survive....

I swear my heart is a burning fire.....

.. ..Fight for what I desire my hearts a burning fire....

with an eternal flame, never extinguishing....

.. ..Sick and tired of living this way, I’m so sick and tired!....

.. ..My friends and family they mean the most to me....

And nothing can come between us....

No, no one can ever stand between us....

Never tare us apart ....

           Burn Alive, I will rise, Now’s my Time, Wake Up!....

.. ..


"Solitude"....

Why have I come here?....

 I thought you said that things had changed....

This picture is still the same, I’m wrong....

Only the lies have changed lies that you could not contain....

Only bad memories remain.....

.. ..

I thought we were stronger than this....

I thought we could stand our own ground....

But I guess not, guess I was wrong....

Without a structure without a foundation....

.. ..

Let out in the darkness, shattered by the cold....

Lost is the wrong boy who never had a home....

Never had a family to call his own....

Wandering this earth with sorrow in his soul....

.. ..

Gone from their hearts....

He vanished before their eyes....

Forgotten child weeps in the night....

Loneliness forever....

.. ..

When there’s a problem, it’s like a double sided blade....

No matter what side you chose, it’s wrong....

Only the lies remain lies that you could not contain....

Only bad memories remain....

.. ..Why have I come here I thought you said that things had changed....

This picture’s still the same, so wrong.....

.. ..

.. ..

.. ..

"Soulless"....

Soulless Falcons of death and dread....

Hearing their cries as they pass overhead....

Demons in darkness bring fire and light....

Clouds of smoke and screams fill the night.....

Veins turn to ice, yet my blood boils....

The earth begins to quake....

There’s no escaping this hell that’s becoming so near ....

I tremble with fear....

.. ..

Someone tell us why this has to be....

If there’s no answer to our prayers....

Will we live beyond today? ....

.. ..

Don’t run away, I know you must be scared....

But I swear we have changed....

No more running away, no more hiding in fear....

For I swear we have changed....

.. ..

Were changing this whole world!....

.. ..

Don’t make us out for fools, for we won’t follow your rules....

And just for the second that I disobey, I’m a terrorist in my own country....

You claim it’s safe, but how can I believe you?....

They say you’re the enemy....

All that I know is the hell that you caused....

Has destroyed my entire family....

.. ..

All that was once good, has now gone....

And there is no one left to save us now.....

.. ..

.. ..

...."Cirlces"....

My life is quickly passing, I watch the days fly by....

You are the old man lost and confused and I don’t know why....

I strive to be the person living my life so high....

You want to drag me down to earth and I don’t know why....

What is your problem?....

Why do you got to try and fuck with me?....

Just stay out of my way, keep walking in circles....

.. ..

Intoxicated by the thoughts and questions of my life....

How could you put me on this earth....

Then wish me to die?....

It doesn’t have to be like this forever....

For me it’s never ending, the pain is overwhelming....

.. ..

A bitter tragedy the day you lost your faith in me!....

Right, I’m never right, I’m always wrong....

.. ..

It’s so hard to know where you stand....

When walking in circles....

It’s not like you know where you stand....

You’re walking in circles ....

And I can’t understand, just where you think you’re heading now....

Before you know, you’ve dug yourself a hole....

.. ..

Too many times before

you left me when I needed you the most....

You’re such a fucking coward, this is our final encounter....

You’ve dug yourself a hole and now you can’t climb out....

Swear I won’t give you my hand, no I won’t help you out....

.. ..

..
..

........"Without You"....

Without you I’m torn in two, half the man I thought I knew....

Lost, alone, I wait for you to hear me know....

As I stare threw shattered glass....

I wonder if I ever tried....

Losing myself for nothing true, I’m losing myself without you....

.. ..Can you hear me now? Are you listening? As I call out your name....

.. ..

Why did you have to leave all these questions unanswered?....

Since you left I feel as if, a piece of me left with you....

Your face I miss to see, my life’s in misery....

Losing the ones that you love, Are they watching us from above?....

.. ..Can you hear me now? Are you listening? As I call out your name....

.. ..

With all these past mistakes, and all my life’s regrets....

Without you in my life, there’s just no room for progress....

Without you I’m nothing and I am no one....

I am no one without you....

.. ..

.. ..     Why did you have to go and leave me here all alone?....

Since you died I feel as if a piece of me died with you....

Your face I miss to see, my life’s in misery....

Losing the one’s that you love....

Are they watching us from above?....

.. ..

I’m nothing without you....

.. ..

You may be gone, still in my soul....

I’ll never lose these memories of you....


"Are we dreaming?"....

There is no cure for your disease,

I beg and plead drop to my knees....

I see you trembling here the blood is still on your face....

I never wanted this for you to fall from grace.....

.. ..

Are we dreaming? Or are we living in a nightmare?....

Am I dreaming again? Broken hearts and promises....

.. ..

How could you lie to me after all that we had been through?....

And now I’m through. I’m through with you....

Now I’m so fucking through with you....

.. ..

I see this blood on your hands you cannot wash off the sin....

And now your soul will be condemned.....

.. ..

Change you there is no changing you....

You are everything I wish that I had too....

But tonight you decided that you’re through....

And everything you are ends in this disgrace....

.. ..

.. ..Love, you never gave to me....

Pain, a heart of sorrow....

Hate, is all you instilled in me....

Pain, a heart of sorrow....

Hello everyone!! So we have had a ton going on lately... working our asses off spreading the word on the band, writing and perfecting the music for the new CD, working on getting on tour this winter for all the fans around the country, working on booking new big in town shows, and going into the studio all of July to lay down the new CD!!

The new album is going to be 7 new original songs plus a cover song.. Anyone know what the cover is? We have played it live at our last few shows. We will have a few of the songs on our myspace player, and the cd will be released at a hugeeee show Sept 18, and through all the digital outlets (Itunes, Napster, Amazon, Rhapsody, CDbaby, etc at that time!) We will probably be setting up a presale through smartpunk.com as well.

We also have our first HEADLINE show at the Marquee Theatre July 24th. We have been palying the Marquee pretty often, but this is our first headline so we need everyone in az to come out and make it huge. Hardly any local bands get the opportunity to headline the Marquee, so lets make this one big!

Feel free to his us up with messages or comments anytime, we respond to all!!!

We started the official THE ASYLUM blog tonight.

We'll be using it as a way to promote the band and get more people to our myspace page here, at the same time we'll be adding all kinds of random crazy, funny or just absolutely insane crap to it.  So check it out, subscribe to the rss feed, and check back (at least) daily for updates:

Alright, since we're not releasing the album until early 2008, a friend of ours at the College Times magazine wrote a little blurb for us to put in our press kit.  Check it out!

From Mike, the music editor at the College Times:

Very few young, up-and-coming bands display the rare combination of passion and professionalism found in Phoenix's The Asylum. The crisp production on their debut album, Closer to the Evil, is a refreshing change of pace in a local scene bogged down with half-assed, self-produced demos by bands of questionable talent and dedication.

Of course, production value means little without solid songwriting, but The Asylum delivers in that regard as well. These guys appear completely unfazed by flavor-of-the-month metalcore trends, instead opting for the tried and true sound of late '80s thrash and early '90s groove metal.

Guitarist Vince LuPone clearly worshiped at the altar of legendary Pantera axeman Dimebag Darrell, while vocalist Jason Kendall's ability to go from a melodic baritone to a guttural growl recall's Sevendust's Lajon Witherspoon. The rhythm section of bassist Gerard Burick and drummer Dan Edwards provides a rock-solid backbone for The Asylum's sound, especially during the band's energetic live shows.

The Asylum might very well be the band to breathe life back into the Valley's stagnant metal scene. They've already set the bar higher for their peers. For that alone, valley metalheads should be grateful.
