Broken Window Lyrics

*it's all too much*
*Covered in b-b-broken glass*
*After my therapist, trapped in my cell, awaiting experiments*
*Is this some kind of sick joke?!*
*My name is Dean Emit*
*Broken window*
*trapped in my cell, awaiting experiments*

[Verse 2: Possessed]

His name was Doctor Emit institutionalised
For committing the most unusual crimes
Torturing patients numerous times
‘Till one escaped, brought the truth to the light

Losing his mind but kept it top secret
Unnecessary methods of shock treatment
No waiting list kept going till the power died
Or the patient did, which ever came first

He was a slave to his hunger within
Tied them up sewed razors under their skin

Eyes void of emotion
When asked why he did it, he just said: 'the voices had spoken'
Insane, locked in a cell
Dementia in control of all knowledge of self
Day to day he’d yell about the crimes
Like he didn’t do them and they’re still taking place

Swimming in the depths of depression
Volatile, living on the edge of aggression
Never did get a confession
(Flipped out) during a routine group therapy session
When asked “are you scared of the past?”
He jumped up by the window put his chair through the glass
Demented look in his face
Guards took him away put him to bed fully restrained
Didn’t bother drugging him up
The next morning they walked in and saw him covered in blood
Should’ve known from behaviour patterns
That this was a suicide waiting to happen

Life he came to hate with a passion
Shard to the wrist, fatal attraction
Examining the evil deed
There it was on the floor the jagged killer that didn’t flee the scene
Broken Window
[4 x Outro]

Window to the soul, broken
Now his ghost is out in the open
