Asylum
Lord Sko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stuck in the chamber of nothing
I'm tryna escape but no time to reload
I be so anxious around me I gotta get high
But it's fine to be low
I be afraid of my shadow
I'm tryna find out what that side of me knows
I'm looking for an asylum
Just wanna be safe it don't gotta be home

And I'm ready to get lost in the deep end
Storm come but I'm calm when the peace ends
So numb been a conflict to feel shit
Goin off and I'm far from where we been

Uh ohh
Wherever you are

Need the most from em
Cloud of smoke cover my name in
A whole muddle
Kid lost want it all
But they don't love em
Ghost running from a
Dope substance
Sobered up and now he don't trust it
Nothing from something been coming up
Make the door bust in
Flow runnin' the most rugged oppose nothing
The most ugly these hoes fuck me but don't trust me
My soul lucky I'm so funny to nobody
These snow bunnies got no money and coke hungry
Nowadays they get a rush to feel they phone buzzin'
So lonely but so be it I run from em
Got no homies see blood suckers and up cutters
I choose slowly let love suffer and none other
Fuck all them I'm just honest 13 problems
Need black onyx
I'm not rapping to see dollars
The last straw for the bad thoughts to make me cautious

Now then you'll see
If you take this task
Of what we call conquest of nature
The task of making order victorious over chaos or randomness





If you take this seriously
You will look upon it as warfare

Many things I learn from Dale:
Don’t trust the government
Question high authority
Believe in freedom
And pocket sand

Shambles M.D.

Technically pocket sand isn't considered a deadly weapon, yet very cheap and effective.

Jordan Velasquez

Shh shh shah!

Tristan Band

Pocket sand is the most important.

Rest in Peace Johnny Hardwick. You'll be dearly missed. The King of the Hill revival won't be the same without the crazed ramblings of our favourite conspiracy theorist 😞

Omar Cervantes

I wonder how they will handle his death in the show. He was my favorite character😢

TheFrostbite324

@Omar CervantesI feel like they could do a clever gag where his voice is different because of the copious amounts of cigarettes.

T Lehman

He had 6 episodes completed. Rumor is they will hold auditions to replace him, as he had 2 friends who did the voice rather well. So fingers crossed!

Trey Anderson

This is how I find out. RIP friend
