Bloody Heart (Lyrics)
True
Insane
My Brain
I was so meticulous
Did not disturb a piece of dust
Put my head into the room
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Open my lantern
On the 8th night
The Eye was open
Time to do what is right
(scream)
First I took the mattress
And I smothered the guy
Then I put him in a tub
No blood, No lie
Next I scoped the eye out
So it could not spy
Finally I took the head off
And cut above the knee
Below the thighs
Chorus
No more details
The sane does not
belong in jail
You can take me
I did the deed as you can see
No more details
The sane does not
Belong in jail
You can take me
For tearing him apart
Just stop the beating of the bloody heart
I'm sane
I tell ya I'm sane
I even took out the brain
Not a drop of blood remains
Had no problems with the man
He was good & gold & grand
He had no money worth the risk
Not worth the time I put to this
Now all because of the eye
I had to kill this lovely guy
No one else no one but me
Would take the time to surely see
That he was treated all the best
And he suffered so much less
Chorus
The cops don't understand
They act like they don't know my plan
Damn the neighbor who heard the scream
I really wish it was all a dream
I was so proud of my art
Until I heard the beating of the bloody heart

Should we call him larry?
Lisa, stan or stew
whatever dude poe had in mind
that guilt grew, grew and grew
it grew to get uncomfy
a psychic road too bumpy
he couldnt take it anymore
everynight he cracked the door
to see that penetrating eye
that saw through all his lies
lies to himself, to his dog, to his cat
after weeks of fear of being found
now who could handle that
cuz guilt told the tale
told it straight from the heart
pick-pocketed his conscience
ran 100 yards of offense
tattle tale, tattle tale, tale tell a tale of loss
man i know you want to do it but you shouldnt kill your boss.
The problem is all we have is our perspective.
The problem is all we have are these 2 eyes.
How can anyone be objective when what we believe could all be lies.
Like the guy in The Tell-Tale Heart.
He said he wasn't crazy; he was just really smart.
That it's so close to genius, it's hard to tell apart.
My theory is he had bad parenting--
psychotic tendencies he ended up inheriting.
When they tortured him 'till he could take no more, he
of course ended up an Edgar Allen Poe story.
Another theory is he could be Korean
coming from centuries of guilt and agreein'
to do things you don't really want to do
because confucius says you have to follow the rules.
You end up feeling like a sham you have to keep up.
You end up feeling guilty 'cause you're never good enough.
You're guilty all the time and the guilt is unremitting
so you kill your boss and chop him up instead of just quitting.
