In the Laboratory of Joyous Gloom

歌詞

Thanks for the mind expansion The world seems a little colder now In the darkest corner of the dark corner Sits a friend I've never known well Wasn't well no warmth, no sun Til the rodent invaded my mind This little voice sifts through Thoughts in my head starts carving Away at me I need haunting worlds to twist my mind For the eeriness must creep No reaching hand just the still of night Dripping from gloom's I.V. In the dead of night through the light of day Darkness stood it's ground As anxious feelings kept feeding my dreams To become what once was me I grasped the dark and took its charge In my universe I flew so high But a predetermined waiting fate Now comes to claim its prize With my mind undone I'd found my peace As the eeriness crept through me No reaching hand just the still of night Dripping from gloom's I.V. And now I'm seeing this vision It sits looming, peering at me I smash the lights out close my eyes Hoping it goes away It starts speaking in words I cannot follow It holds out its hand for embrace I wish it dead in a box deep underground And a million miles away I need haunting worlds to twist my mind For the eeriness must creep The reaching hand has been shunned away I'm holding out for what comes next And now they tell me I'm crazy They've studied the brains in me I know that I'm fine controlling my life Yet they question all that I do Upon me is this illness and its overtaking me Please go away and leave me to doom Why won't it let me be me? Oh how I cherished that feeling and Oh how I cherished that high Locked away like a germ or a world Ending plague removed from what I crave And now I've found this horror Or maybe it's found me Pushing words of hope and happiness I'm repulsed it's so ugly In the laboratory of joyous gloom Science turns on me They say I've strayed from the Rational lost in mystery Keep on hoping keep on waiting These feelings grab me I am wits end In the laboratory of joyous gloom Science turns on me They say I've strayed from the Rational lost in mystery Clinging desperately I wait for the Moment when will it come? I breathe for it and bask in it Don't leave me now my long anointed World misery The time has come!! Don't leave me now forever we're Bound by one and only dear friend Together alone we'll fend off the Fiend that has gathered to finish our mind All torment is gone my dream has come true I've patched up this hole in my mind Please tell me you're listening I've patched up this hole in my mind! The end, the end, the end, the end... Of my needing and wanting of you The end, the end, the end, the end... To the grand scheme of living the fool The end, the end, the end, the end... The end to this damaged brain The end, the end, the end, the end... Self-removal from life and this pain The end, the end, the end, the end... Bringing of cheer to my chewed up mind The end, the end, the end, the end THE END!!!
