Experiment 23 Lyrics

The room was a dull shade of grey

It was decently sized

With a mirror on the wall

They were always watching me

I could feel their eyes

As they studied me

No more drugs

Please no more pain

Don't test that on me

Don't corrupt my brain

The three men were bigger than me

She would follow them in

With the daily syringe

There was no escape for me

Once she'd inject that in me

They could take me away

Another trip

Of terror and pain

As they'd do tests on me

Over and over again

Bastards!

Strapped into this bed

With machines and lights all around me

My mind spins off again and again

As my vision blurs and frays

I journey into another bad trip

Induced by their new batch of tests

I know they're staring at me

Watching their beeps and flashes

Studying the effects of the drug, and reactions

To externally induced stimulation

Caused by shock, pain, or some other means

I can only imagine in my pseudo-conscious state

All the while, the usual voice from nowhere

Reassuring me that this is for my own good

And the benefit of all mankind

Let me out!

I'm drifting away

Will I wake to

Another test day?

I'm not a number

I'm a human being

Don't test that on me

Just let me go free!
