Closets of my mind destroyed (destroyed)
As I enter outward from a void
Corpses white have strapped me down, I rise above then fall
Tactual hallucination, cockroaches infest the wall
Psychic pain on ice, I hurt
Devoid strength my life, inert
Anger fills they've shocked me back white corpses turn to black
I run on psychic gasoline, my fuel shall burn you all
♪
Word Salad, no ballad
Word Salad, no ballad
Diabolic plot, a toy
My brain the corpses to destroy
Prick my arm, injection fed, it's poison, I'm no fool
Tetanus shot, be sure it's not, I wish I were at school
Closets of my mind destroyed (destroyed)
But I enter inward, black void
Hatred turns to apathy, led down this dark abyss
Good night, farewell you pig from hell, this world I shall not miss

Word Salad

Woken up from death, nausea
Catatonic stupor, anoxia
Remaining still I hold onto a sense of permanence
Negativistic fear of pain, algophobic life sentence
Moral, physical decay, hatred withered away
Scourge of God he makes me pay, I shall not live or die
Vegetative judgment passed, my only thought to cry
