A failure in every sense of the word
The things I’ve seen and lived are just absurd
An existence in the shadows, a nightmare never ending
Solace and comfort are things that only the pen brings
When I scribble these words between these pink lines,
The way the ink dries can even surprise these all-knowing eyes
And the hand that feeds has refused to return
Since we learned that it bleeds and in time it will burn
Let the ashes collect, the cleanest thing on this earth
And though the phoenix may fade, the flames will still give birth
And you can’t kill what you can’t hurt
But soon enough we’ll all be dirt

You can’t kill what you can’t hurt
And soon enough we’ll all be dirt
Scientific pursuits, what is it worth?
Human nature, for better or worse

One little, two little, three little guinea pigs
Take n from society, they won’t amount to anything
Open them up, and take a good look around
Abuse them, peruse them, marvel at whats found
Put it back in place, chart the results on colored graphs
Hell knows no fury like that of the lab rat
No point in relenting, less point in repenting
The old methods are fine, no use reinventing
No mercy, just strap the subject to the table
Probe and contort until the vitals aren’t stable
The nightmare hall where all dreams are made
But only if you’re on my side of the cage

You can’t kill what you can’t hurt
And soon enough we’ll all be dirt
Scientific pursuits, what is it worth?
Human nature, for better or worse

The quest for information, the pursuit of knowledge
Affirmation of existence, belief in something solid
Life and death situations, immoral implications
Ego masturbation put upon unwilling patients
For the greater good, but unfortunately not yours
Put you in a state where thinking is a chore
Reactions are open to interpretation
Electromagnetic experimentation
My humanity is gone, I’m just a shell of what I was
Eventually it’ll be what every one of us does
I finish my note and put the gun in my mouth
Blood splatters across the words “The doctor is out”

What you can’t hurt
We’ll all be dirt
What is it worth?
For better or worse
What you can’t hurt
We’ll all be dirt
What is it worth?
For better or worse
