In the end it will only ever be YOU.
You can be surrounded by many people and still feel very much alone, scared and fragile.
Now in a state of picturesque decay, Denbigh Asylum (aka North Wales Hospital) was actually abandoned relatively recently, closing its doors in 1995 after 147 years of service.
Constructed between 1844-1848, the hospital served as a refuge for Welsh-speaking mental patients. Originally designed to accommodate about 200 patients, it was expanded to alleviate overcrowding in 1899 and eventually was home to as many as 1500 patients.
The hospital has been vandalized and looted since its closing, and plans had been made to demolish the historic building to make way for 280 new homes and businesses, but these were never completed. In 2008 the buildings were featured in an episode of “Most Haunted” and later the same year a devastating fire broke out, causing more damage to the aging structure. Today, its fate is uncertain.
Is it just a dream or is it real ... you really don't know sometimes in these times ...
fitting song:
A silent faulty feeling
A silent fault
A silent faulty feeling
A silent fault
I sigh and fall to the ceiling
I sigh and run to the kneeling
Asylums for the feeling
Ran out of all the meaning
I ran out of
It's hard to fall believing
It's hard to fall
So many men are losing
While out there doing the proving
It's no surprise he is dooming
Bring your friends, bring it all on
Oh, don't suck it up, no
Bring your friends, bring it all on
Oh, don't suck it up, no
Bring your friends, bring it all on
Bring your friends, bring it all on
Bring your friends, bring it all on
Oh, don't suck it up, no
Bring your friends, bring it all on
Oh, don't suck it up, no
Bring your friends, bring it all on
Oh, don't suck it up, no
Bring your friends, bring it all on
Bring your friends, bring it all on
Bring your friends, bring it all on
Oh, don't suck it up, no
We seem to need another
We need you all
While finding our own cover
We cover it all
I find my own completeness
The darkness and the weakness
The light, the fight, the quietness
We are here for you
We are here for you
Don't suffer alone
Tell us
We are here for you
We are here for you
Don't suffer alone
Tell us

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And He just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand
I just wanna feel real love
Fill the home that I live in
Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
I don't want to die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her
I scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming
I just wanna feel real love
Fill the home that I live in
Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
And I need to feel real love
And a life ever after
I cannot get enough
I just wanna feel real love
Fill the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running through my veins
To go to waste...
