[intro]
White pad walls
With Pride came the fall
Brain is thinking, more barbital
Ooo Scratching out my eyes
Whispers from my friends
Mmm ya but they’re all flies
Straight jacket blues
All the orderlies lie
It’s in the name
that’s why you’ll find me
Picking the remains of my brain
[Verse]
Crown of tin foil, dripping with pride,
Shadows salute as he takes his stride,
Talks to the walls, thinks they confide,
The floorboards whisper, "He’s our guide."
The corridors echo, his voice reigns supreme,
Padded throne built on a fevered dream,
Mumbles sermons to a broken regime,
The asylum bends to his unholy scheme.
[Bridge]
Static whispers buzz in his brain,
Raindrops tap like Morse code of pain,
His rule’s an illusion, a paper-thin reign,
A madman dancing on sanity’s chain.
[Chorus]
King of the cage, lord of the haze,
Ruler of the maze, lost in the craze,
Thinks he’s free, but he’s locked in a daze,
The asylum king, trapped in his plays.
[Verse 2]
Wires in his head, sparking delight,
Shouting commands to the flickering light,
Nurses his council, ghosts of the night,
A monarch crowned in his mind’s blight.
Pill bottle scepter, rattles with glee,
Declares war on mirrors that disagree,
Shattered reflections, he can’t let them be,
He’s the emperor of what no one can see.
[Bridge]
Static whispers buzz in his brain,
Raindrops tap like Morse code of pain,
His rule’s an illusion, a paper-thin reign,
A madman dancing on sanity’s chain.
[Chorus]
King of the cage, lord of the haze,
Ruler of the maze, lost in the craze,
Thinks he’s free, but he’s locked in a daze,
The asylum king, trapped in his plays.
[outro]
White pad walls
With Pride came the fall
Brain is thinking, more barbital
Ooo Scratching out my eyes
Whispers from my friends
Mmm ya but they’re all flies
Straight jacket blues
All the orderlies lie
It’s in the name
that’s why you’ll find me
Picking the remains of my brain
