Self Inflicted Autopsy Lyrics

Inside myself a sickness grows
What this is nobody knows
I guess it’s all left up to me
Self inflicted autopsy

Life threatening disease
Crushing mortality
I instigate the chase
Confront it face to face

A sharpened scalpel’s edge
Holds me to my pledge
To see what perpetrates
And to exterminate

Self inflicted autopsy

Incision at the breast
Continues down my chest
The forceps snip away
To aid in making way

Self inflicted autopsy

With both hands I take hold
Of flesh that’s turning cold
Then I fold back the skin
Inspecting what’s within

Self inflicted autopsy

Rib cage sawed open
Leading me to my lungs
Black in color
Covered with rotting sludge

Scrape away
This layer of rotted decay
Only to find
My lungs have been eaten away

The ailment is aware
of my presence there
And it reacts
My blood vessels constrict
And the pressure inflicts an
overwhelming pain

Swelling in my bowels – they
burst open
Bathing me in excrement
Why this futile attempt
My life hangs in the balance
of this premature autopsy

My vision starts to sway
The numbness fades away
My patience growing thin
Blurred judgment does me in

To my stomach it moves
Its cunningness is proved
Carving knife in my grip
My stomach lining’s ripped

Self Inflicted autopsy

Acid leaks from my abdomen
Burning melting me from within
Disease haunts me laughs as I die
My pride ends this bizarre suicide
