Lyrics

An older male has gone mad
Crouched on the metal slats of a portion of his inner chamber
Number 1164 rocks incessantly and mumbles to himself
I see candle wax is melting
Feel the scabs on my hands
I really need to tell you something
But I can't remember who I am
There's a bomb inside of me
Call it magic surgery
In my head electrodes
Pus and bleeding, I explode
Cutting
I'm cutting myself again
Lacerate her face on the cage
Falling in a Noble-Collip drum
When she gave birth to her puppy
She could neither love nor bond with them
The only way that it knows how is coping with it
Feel the cold hard floor
Slam the cage door
And that triggers it
Cutting
I'm cutting myself
I'm cutting myself again
I'm running
But no memory
Some animals try to cope with their fear and life in a barren cage
By developing erratic movements and self mutilation
I must cut myself, if I remember
I must cut myself, if I remember
Some mothers are too psychotic for laboratory life to raise their infants
But all mothers will lose their young to the experimenters
I must kill myself, if I remember
I must cut myself
Must cut myself
Must kill myself
Try so hard to stay in control
Dissociated from the fear
I always carry a box of blades
Just to make sure I'm here
There's a bomb inside of me
Call it magic surgery
In my head electrodes
Pus and bleeding, I explode
Cutting
I'm cutting myself
I'm cutting myself again
I'm running
But no memory
No memories of back then
I'm coping
I'm just coping with the pain
Something happened
Break the mirror
Something happened
Break the mirror
Look behind
Something happened
Break the cage
Something happened
Break the cage
Let me out
Something happened
Break the mirror
Look behind
