Lyrics
Drip, drip goes the beep machine
Sadness wakes hypoxic dreams
My stitches wail a silent scream
Mucus seeps within the seams
Saline, saline
From your eyes from your eyes
A supine incision desecration rite
Indecision breeds the putrid blight
White to black to black to white
All the colours are out of sight
Withered string cut in the light
As you fight, fight, fight
Pain and pain and pain and pain
One part suffers the others will
Once you're in there's no escape
It's morphine not the pearly gates
Take a trip outside your room
Take a trip on benzadone
Hit or miss wait until
You succumb to fentanyl
Objects of a different time
Used to come here dressed in white
They'll leave there tinted slightly pink
Like the cottage rose you can smell outside
White to black to black to white
All the colours are out of sight
Extended string cut in the light
As you fight, fight, fight
Pain and pain and pain and pain
One part's gone the others will
Feed on what remains until
There's nothing left except (Pain)
(Pain) Bleach in the breath
(Pain, pain) Nothing cuts the air
(Pain) Stench of clean
(Pain) Blood in your hair
(Pain) Sting of saline
(Pain) Nothing's fair
(Pain) You've had your share
Hear the beep
See the need to
(Swim) Swim (There's words in here but I can't speak)
(Swim) Swim (The peak of my descent)
Swim (Swim)
