Dead of the night and I’m fighting the fog again Holding the weight of my world with fingertips Hot fire rot-gut feeling I just can’t shake it off I can’t seem to escape The wrath of the big, giant brain The burden is lighter with fire on my eager lips Transcending mind I am finding my disconnect Real time leaves me reeling I’m just not keeping up I can’t seem to escape The wrath of the big, giant brain So you tell me I'm brave Stiff upper lip on my face I’m always under the weight Of the BIG GIANT BRAIN Years down the line and I’m losing the fight again The passage of time is a Game that I might never win Hot fire rot-gut feeling I just can’t shake it off I can’t seem to escape The wrath of the big, giant brain

Day by day I’m a ghost caught in the fray I medicate and trade in aches for pains He had all his fun then I carried his son He is gone but not forgotten Gone but not forgotten Well I’m haunted again And I can’t pretend that I don’t see him around You make me so sick You’re a devil in his skin And I find my hands are bound It goes round in my head Round in my head It goes round and round and round It goes round in my head You’re a devil, not my kin It goes round and round and round Dead weight I drag this ball and chain Hope and pray The cycle’s bound to break Should have been a tomb Rotten fruit of my womb A father’s hate bathed in the light Hate bathed in the light Well I’m falling again I bleed for his sins so I know you’re hellward bound I make myself sick Will my skeleton have friends When I’m 6ft underground? It goes round in my head Round in my head It goes round and round and round It goes round in my head Will my skeleton have friends When I’m 6ft underground? Well I’m haunted again And I can’t pretend That I don’t see him around I make myself sick I’m a devil to my kin and I know you’re hellward bound It goes round in my head Round in my head It goes round and round and round It goes round in my head Will my skeleton have friends When I’m 6ft underground?

Plywood rotted through Drywall is too Things aren’t what they seem Under the paint Termites make their homes Inside the bones Of a monument kept so pristine I know what goes on Behind the facade All the secrets That you tightly squeeze The walls are caving in They’ve always been You are content to fester here You better clutch your hands And pray your kids Don’t go and build a house of shame House of shame

Work so hard Waste away Destroy yourself for pocket change Try your best Earn your keep Burn it all just for the heat What about the American Dream? It’s not yours and it never will be So while you’re here, be a dear Spike a vein for the establishment Red blood cells, what’s there to do When your blood’s got more Value than you Red blood sells it’s a matter of class Get in on the deal, supplies won’t last Red blood cells, what’s there to do When your blood’s got more Value than you Red blood cells when the paycheck’s tight The things we do to keep on the lights Work so hard Waste away Destroy yourself for pocket change Try your best Earn your keep Burn it all just for the heat What about the American Dream? It’s not yours and it never will be So while you’re here, be a dear Spike a vein for the establishment
