Rhyme Asylum - Stark Raving Genius lyrics

Brain is demented
In a major state of depression
Since the day I was sectioned I
Was laced with painful injections
Under intense surveillance and when
Mental patients attempt
Escaping the ventilation releases
Deadly vapours locked away in a cell that's
Pitch black completely dark
I kick back and weeks have passed
As I conversate with myself
Alone in a cage, no hope of escape
Can’t get hold of a blade
So I grew my nails long
Enough to open my veins
A manic depressed that's suicidal
Tried to remove my eyeballs
And made a gallant attempt
At snapping my neck
Was on the verge of insanity
Then entered the asylum


Ventured in my mind with plans
To never return to reality
At constant war with the demons within
Waking up in a state
With razor cuts to the veins deep in my skin
And doctors making observations on
A constant basis patients locked in cages
Inhaling toxic vapours
Unattractive features
Having seizures in the corridors
And I contract diseases
Rats are feeding off my rotten corpse
A decrepit and violent
Abandoned mental asylum
Where every hospital ward is
Unattended and silent
The level of corruption’s a cause for concern
‘cause at night the inmates are
Sent into the dungeon, tortured and burned
And patients with self-inflicted fatal wounds
Watching docs in radiation suit's taking
Patients through to operation rooms

Even demented in dreams
On the edge of resting in peace
Knives, rope
Pills - euthanasia vending machines
Heroine fiends strapped to a bed of syringes
One way acid trips when you’re
Sent to this medicine clinic
Kept in padded cells and metal cages
Mental patients
Shock therapy high voltage dental braces
At night time I scream myself to sleep
Scared of the crippled man crawling that
No one else can see
A weeping widow, eyes black and miserable
An old lady sit's searching for the
Future in a shattered crystal ball
Locked away where crazed doctors
Don’t wait to operate
I hear voices and they're all telling
Me that I’m not insane
Treatment rooms for the seven sins
Mistaken for gluttony
Women with prosthetic limbs expecting twins
Shedding skins with a carving knife
Involuntary organ donors waking up in
A bath of ice
Stark raving mad maniac, ugly looks
Vacant stares, cracked mirrors
Masturbate with rusty hooks
A building that hangs off the edge of a cliff
Spoke of in legend and myth
Razors turn rusty left in the wrist
Mentally sick, resisting my medicine
Dismissing my excellence
My thoughts cover walls written in excrement
Beneath flickering lights we beg for mercy
I hear relentless ticking yet every clock
Is stuck on 7: 30

A twisted hospital haunted by a cold dementia
Doors lock and padded walls turn to
Spikes and slowly close together
Can’t break my restraints in half so
I chew through my aching arms
The doctors are eight times more
Deranged than the patients are
Panic attacks in the darkness
Natural disasters
Psychopaths in barbwire nooses hang
From the rafters
Broken fingernails left gripping the ceiling
And your neck collar will explode if you
Attempt to breach the perimeter region
Duct tape preventing communication
Cold sweats in pitch black icy rooms
Demented hallucinations
Phobias taken to their vertical limit's
Twisted priests resurrect Satan’s soul
Through surgical spirit
Hearts beat so loud you hear
Them pound as they palpitate
Sense a sour taste gargling
Mouthfuls of scalpel blades
We all look essentially the same
But I'm mentally insane
Shouting "It’s me!" in identity parades
Fallen angels are stuffed into
Torture chambers and crushed
Then burned alive into holy
Water vapour and dust
Placebos switched for dangerous drugs
Disguising the medicine
I’m highly intelligent
The side of my mind is irrelevant
Expressionless wide eyes and
Venereal blisters i shower in the blood of
Victims of serial killers
Trapped forever, no way of running scared
The front doors left wide open for
Anyone that wanders in unaware

A patient for seven years
Yet to see the light of day
A telekinetic mind to set me
Free from tight restraints
That’s what I keep telling
Myself inside my brain i know I’m a genius
Doctors think my minds insane
Avoid the dark corners of cells
Powerful vacuums leading into black holes
And portals to hell
Forced to torture ourselves
For pleasant thinking
Dead security guards are monitoring
Closed circuit television
Tracking device embedded in my collar bone
Bloody letters on the wall spelling out
The words "you’re not alone"
Strapped down with a straight
Jacket and several chains
Wrapped ‘round and welded to
The bed’s metal frame
They’re upside down hung from the ceiling
Unknown creatures live in my
Flesh prompting uncomfortable feelings
Mirrors reflect in black and white
Escape is pointless: all the corridors
Interconnectin' back to mine
Inmates have half-shaven heads
Can’t take the stress
For weeks arms laid to rest
On a sharp razor’s edge raise the dead
An escape attempt shoveling mud
Bathe in depths of
AIDS-infected bubbling blood
Eternally cursed by immortal life
A schizophrenic that’s
Permanently disconnected from my normal side
So I’ll never be the same and
Just when I figure it out
A pill’s placed into my mouth
And my memory’s erased

A reality is just what we
Tell each other it is
Sane and insane could easily switch places if
The insane were to become the majority
You would find yourself locked
In a padded cell
Padded cell… Locked in a padded cell
Wondering what happened to the world
