Asylum
D.F.K. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the diagnosis given
We’re gonna have to operate
On a part of your brain
What
Booch is wavy
Heikki’s crazy, clinically insane
Trapped in asylum it seems
Yell doc stop I’ll never be the same
Phycologist operating aiming for my nose hole
Can’t fix me I’m sicko
I laugh & giggle
With Grin on my on face
Back to the 20th century
Intensity fills the room
I can’t move, but my arms sore
Assistant must of injected me with something
Assistant grabs the rope
Ties me too the operating table
Shit, I’m unable to move
Glued to the table
Feel Marv Merchants from the Home Alone movie
Electrocuted, body’s shaking
Tables vibrating
Doc must be possessed by Satan
Pray, save me Jesus
Would you do this to your nieces & nephews
Doc F you
Hope get the bird flu & die
Or Paralyzed
Shit is torture
Mind’s screaming, mouth ain’t moving
People demons,
Believing they op works
Horrible doctors
Won’t elevate my madness
Severed my prefrontal cortex
Trapped in asylum
Doc gon op on me
Tied me to a table island
Please just set me free
Said I’m trapped in asylum
Doc gon op on me
Tied me to a table island
Please just set me free
Next thing you know
Locations unknown
Gotta figure out where the hell I am
Feeling different, eyes swollen
Pains excruciating, incapacitating
Manipulated my brain
My face distorted
Shit ain’t normal, immoral
Gotta quarrel for bullshit
Gotta dip out the asylum
Hurt ain’t crying
Blood dripping down my skull
Looking for the exit, gotta make it out
Before I’m found
Open the door, look both ways
I'm okay, find another door with stairs
Gotta be quiet
I don’t know
On my tiptoes
hear a door close
In patients clothes
Siren blows
Alarms goes off
Code 305 code 305 code 305
Trapped in asylum
Doc gon op on me
Tied me to a table island
Please just set me free
Said I’m trapped in asylum
Doc gon op on me
Tied me to a table island
Please just set me free
Trapped in asylum
Doc gon op on me
Tied me to a table island
Please just set me free
Said I’m trapped in asylum
Doc gon op on me
Tied me to a table island
Please just set me free
