Lyrics
Lyrics
Anesthetic administered
GCS? (15, still conscious)
Subject motor function? (Good, some shaking)
Procedure beginning shortly
I need you to breathe, as I count to three
Procuring data on our current provisions
Preparing sites for potential incisions
A difficult decision, but a promising condition
This is the turning point, the breakthrough
My vision
For brand-new eyes
She cut her ties
Green ichor, she took for, her metamorphosis
One shut door, to save more
Three seconds, but humanity resists!
Who tells you when it's time to
Step out across the line?
Is it you, is it them, is it anyone?
Or do you choose to condemn what's been said and done?
(Do not resist the oxygen) (Just a lab rat)
(Just a lab rat) (It will all be over soon) (Just a lab rat)
(This is recovery, breathe) (Just a lab rat)
Just a lab rat (Just a lab rat)
Cannot turn back (Cannot turn back)
A signed contract (A signed contract)
But the choice she made was a worthy trade (The choice she made was a worthy trade)
She sacrificed for us (It'll be okay)
Chose to lay down her trust (This is recovery)
Risked her own life for change
But one last step remains (You will be reborn)
(This is the beginning of your story)
(You will be a hero, Morale)
(She's awake!)
Process finished!
Concluding current tests
Vital signs displaying a considerable amount of stress
Breathing (Abnormal)
Damage (Internal)
Yet subject 2, relative... success?
Four brand-new eyes
She cut her ties
Green ichor, she took for, her metamorphosis
One shut door, to save more
Three seconds, but humanity resists!
Research and testing, no there's
No time for resting anywhere
Humans protesting everywhere
But I have the answer to their prayers
Her vision's tinted by green (Just a lab rat)
She sees the world of my dreams (Just a lab rat)
It's just so, it's just so (Just a lab rat)
It's just so wasteful to see (Just a lab rat)
They cannot, they cannot (Just a lab rat)
They cannot see what she sees (Just a lab rat)
(Just a lab rat)
In me (Just a lab rat)
But to me, she's a loyal subject
