Splitting of the Mind
Lyrics & Music by EC5³M.
© 2008 BrainDead Band Music

Verse 1:
Murderous will and no remorse.....
Voice of darkness stuck in mind
See the face and (my) strings were pulled
Must do what is right.

Half a decade stuck in silence
Quarantined in my cell
Agoraphobic patterns swirl
Release date (is) coming soon.

“All is fine, and you’ll be free
To enjoy life’s gifts and fantasies
All in your way are envious
(And) out to make you grieve.”

It’s all clear what’s to be done
Striving force is the key
Agitated and aggressive
Onset (of) violence may occur

Chorus:
Feel more alive
Feel like a god
Creating the (blue) prints
Free as they fall

Process was right
Given the steps
“Give it your life
and conquer it all”

Verse 2:
I feel the eyes that stare at me
Burning holes into my flesh
Antagonized and left aside
My hatred (for) “norm” increases more

Inadequacies that they must feel
When I’m around or hear me speak.
I sense their fears and sly remarks
The voice of assurance (it) stays and grows.....

“Treading in your darkest hour,
I’ll keep you safe and in my heart
Mankind fears all (that’s) out of (the) box
You now know what must be done”

Dig my fingers through my skull
I’m out of control in great distress
No one believes the words (that) were told
The art of murder soon to be unleashed

Chorus:
Feel more alive
Feel like a god
Creating the (blue) prints
Free as they fall

Process was right
Given the steps
“Give it your life
and conquer it all”

Bridge 1:
Abilify,
I’m running low
Dystonia
It grabs my soul

Epileptic stricken life
Something come and set me free

Solitude
Grinding teeth
Tense as hell
I shut the world

Hear the voice and see the face
It’s all clear what’s to be done

Bridge 2:
“Who are they
To glare at you
Soulless cowards
and wretched pawns

They don’t fear nor comprehend
They’re all against you and out to harm

Bringing death
That is your job
You hold the scythe
Now make your moves

The time of nightfall’s drawing near
Soon enough I’ll set you free.”

Verse 3:
Murderous will and no remorse.....
Voice of darkness stuck in mind
See the face and (my) strings were pulled
Must do what is right.

Half a decade stuck in silence
Quarantined in my cell
Agoraphobic patterns swirl
Release date (is) coming soon.

“All is fine, and you’ll be free
To enjoy life’s gifts and fantasies
All in your way are envious
(And) out to make you grieve.”

It’s all clear what’s to be done
Striving force is the key
Agitated and aggressive
Onset (of) violence may occur

Chorus:
Feel more alive
Feel like a god
Creating the (blue) prints
Free as they fall

Process was right
Given the steps
“Give it your life
and conquer it all”
