Amygdala Lyrics by Smashy Claw

Insane is Repeating

2016

[Intro]
An old Polaroid with a person removed
There’s a me-shaped hole in all your family albums
A severed cerebrum sheds in strips to the floor
The chill of you’s triggered through my hypothalamus
Each time’s the same
But this reckless brain’s holding on

[Chorus]
Why did you vivisect me?
Never knew you had surgical skills
Cause you took out the beaty thing that was in my chest
Why did you vivisect me?
Amygdala, you make me so mad

[Verse 1]
Back and forth and back again like a tumor returned
Now my hippocampus is a huge load-bearing wall
You infected me and my Wernicke died
Their warning words were getting slurred in my broken skull
Like magnets attract
My lobotomy’s coming back till you’re gone

[Chorus]
Why did you vivisect me?
(Meningitophobia)
Never knew you had surgical skills
Cause you took out the beaty thing that was in my chest
Why did you vivisect me?
(Meningitophobia)
Amygdala, you make me so mad

[Bridge]
Like a storm that won’t quit, reason won’t deter these crazy kids
Insane is repeating what didn’t work
Like a storm that won’t quit, reason won’t deter these crazy kids
My brain is getting in the way
Insane is repeating what didn’t work
Like a storm that won’t quit, reason won’t deter these crazy kids
Serious mental injury is bound to happen to those who are not careful
Insane is repeating what didn’t work

[Outro]
Why did you vivisect me?
(Meningitophobia)
Why did you vivisect me? (Like a storm that won’t quit, reason won’t deter these crazy kids)
(Meningitophobia)
Why did you vivisect me? (Insane is repeating what didn’t work)
(Meningitophobia)
Why did you vivisect me? (Serious mental injury is bound to happen to those who are not careful)
(Meningitophobia)
