I am in your Brain

The locks are all melted the hinges are gone A squatters' assembly from dusk until dawn I’ve set up a tripod behind your left eye To film every panic and capture each lie You thought it was silence a void in the deep But I’ve been awake while you’re trying to sleep Re-routing the copper and stripping the soul I’m pushing the buttons and taking control Left foot right foot dance upon the glass Wait until the sanity and reason finally pass There is a tiny playground in the middle of your head I am in your brain the conductor of the pain The big top of the mind where the nightmares remain A remote control director for a movie made of dread The evil within is the king of the bed Step into the spotlight and surrender to the strain I am in your brain The children are hungry they’re asking for more They’re scratching the lacquer right off of the floor "Eat all the buttons and swallow the key" They’re chanting in rhythm and pointing at me You try to resist with a pill and a prayer But I’m the architect of every despair I’ve built a trapeze out of memories and spite And I’m swinging over your consciousness tonight "Wheee!" The plank in reason breaks apart I’m digging through the maps to find the blackness in your heart STAY IN YOUR CAGE!! The circus never ends it only shifts its ugly shape There is no exit sign and there is no escape HAHAHAHAHAHAH!! (Operatic trill) I am the master of the puppet string Listen to the song that your neurons sing I am in your brain the conductor of the pain The big top of the mind where the nightmares remain A remote control director for a movie made of dread The evil within is the king of the bed Step into the spotlight and surrender to the strain I am in your brain "One two" I’m under the skin "Three four" The show must begin The lights are going down "Shhh"
