lyrics

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
