[Halford/Tilse/Travis]
Closed into self asylum,
On ice that's paper thin
Wrapped up for good protection
Keep that from getting in
The shadows bring the shelter,
Some refuge from the storm
Brakes on the helter skelter,
To let these nerves reform
Retreat out of the mad house,
Stop foaming at the mouth
Hang up this strange behavior,
Cut through the overgrowth
Watch from a safer distance,
Observe the next offense
See how the hands do murder,
Then try to make some sens
Black vision
Dead body
Oppression
Shock system
Explosive
Depression
Disaster
Malignant
Infection
Inhuman
Sadistic
Rejection
These acts of tender mercies,
Work on the purest soul
They tease and trap remorseless,
Till six feet in the ground
Shut down till all is silent,
Be still this seething blood
Turn off, release the trigger,
Let numbness do some good
