Circular saw sanatorium
Slide me through the body shoot
scaring patients
on my way down
brush over me
like a fresh cavity
camaraderie may be dead
or we're just crass
hanging tree burnt down
what was left of their souls
synchronize your watches
the man calling the shots with a gun ain't you
chipped paint hallways
where dead children play
they dressed us to die today
pulled the white sheet over before we took our final breath
kicking our carcass in the oven
swing bedside lamps over us
check our eyes
to see if they're dilated
they don't move at all
Waverly Hills sanatorium
we walk the corridors
where we once were alive

based off a metal concert i went to at Waverly Hills sanatorium in KY several years ago.
