[Verse 1] Stand, behind the lead. Take it off, everything you think you own. That cold, glass eye is hungry, Gnawing, through the muscle, to find the bone. Forget the skin, it’s just a wrapper [Chorus] Probing the flesh. The screen don’t lie, but it doesn’t care. a smudge of gray in a neon glare. counting the cracks, They’re filing the stains, Peeling the 'you' out of the veins. [Verse 2] Radiation tastes, like pennies, on the tongue. A silent burn for the old and the young. You’re a slide now. A number on a tab. Just another specimen, on the cold slab. The doctor’s looking through you, But he never looks at you. [Chorus] Probing the flesh. The screen don’t lie, but it doesn’t care. a smudge of gray in a neon glare. counting the cracks, They’re filing the stains, Peeling the 'you' out of the veins. [Bridge] Turn the voltage up, Show 'em where it’s hollow A bitter pill, That we all have to swallow [Instrumental] [Chorus] Probing the flesh. The screen don’t lie, but it doesn’t care. a smudge of gray in a neon glare. counting the cracks, They’re filing the stains, Peeling the 'you' out of the veins. [Outro] Developed in the dark. The light left a mark. Negative space. Empty. Safe. Next patient, please
