The Experiment

They wheel me into a bright room
Strapped to a chair and latched to the seat
The cold iron cuts wrists so pron to bleeding
I guess this is how you cure a wolf man
Place him in an auditorium full of mirrors
As vultures look on from thrones above
Blades appear sharp enough to cut the air
Unfolded on a table the surgeon prepares the sufferer
Drawing dotted lines on the eyelids
The first cut makes sure that the boy sees it all
Like an exorcism there is an expectation tonight
Will it be ghost or goblins that spring forth?
What voice will the beast speak through,
And what is his nature?
Does he want to kill us all?
The experiment begins as I'm placed on a table
A full length reflection stares back dead on
The patient is prepped but he is not prepared
Each slice into his flesh reveals something new
Every knife gets bigger until they pierce like swords
An old scar removed and salt poured in the wound
How did pain become a solution?
Why is it you've cut out my tongue?
I no longer speak and now I come to find
I've been hooked to an electric chair
My coffin stands at the ready to swallow me whole
Fear is my prescription and envy my goal
To become like the rest of the world
Is that what I've been waiting for?
Was it so bad to be a wanted man?
Craving to disembowel my enemies
And drink their blood through my cupped hands
When will it end, this struggle to breath?
It all looks so bleak and I've put my hope in man
That their science will be my cure
Since the spirits of healing have ceased to sing
If by pain I'm purified then this is my cleansing
Doctor make me beautiful
So that this beast no longer reigns supreme
