Patient Zero

Ethereal tide
I'm floating deep inside
Blinded eyes opened wide
Contemplating another verity.

Ethereal tide
No more pain since I died
But a prayer subsides
Oh to be relieved from the tyranny.

Back from the dead
Frozen strings on my head
I'm lying on a bed
Surrounded by pulsing machinery.

Motion around
My arms and feet are bound
(The) piercing light is a wound
The anguish is rising inside me.

Recollection
Entire dejection
Another injection
My mind forced into (a) new reality.

I'm still alive
Tough ones always survive
Said the Doc to the brass
The chief tormentor, without pity.

I'm crying
I keep crying
Can't stop crying
Oh to get a grip on reality.

A slave
I'm a slave
Abused with brain waves
Abducted, forever internee.

I'm crying
I keep crying
I can't stop crying
Bewildered by fearful memories.

I'm shaking
Can't help shaking
I am so wasted
By the needle's juices inside me.

Pain
No more pain
No more pain oh please
Deliver me from this misery.

The future
Bleeding future
I live the future
All the drug's induced visions of it.
