lyrics

Scratches line the halls
With fingers reduced to bone
The screams of the isolated echo the halls

Knowing they care not for your health
But for the procurement of wealth
Objected to inhumane experiments
The familiar stench of waste

And when the doctors come
They grin and have their fun
Sucking life from those they’ve easily undone

Crying out in protest
Shock treatments rampant
Crying out in protest
Plans develop in their much-affected minds

One is thinking of his father
The cruel and unkind monster
That condemned him to this place
Swearing one day, to make his escape
“I’m coming for you, to end your wretched life”
“I’m coming for you, to end your wretched life”



This institution has many flaws
Vents loose, unlike the steel doors
He kicks one in, and climbs on through
His desire will come true

Spiders trail his body
While Never paying mind to sting of venom
Feeling the outside air
For the first time in years

On his feet again, sprinting as far as he can
To return to his former home
And upon arrival, seeks out mortal justice
Putting an end to this torture

In that moment, his mother screaming
He knows the end has come
With his mind at ease and the venom flowing
Rests his body, eternally.

Crying out in protest
Shock treatments rampant
Crying out in protest
Plans develop in their much-affected minds
