  • Notes

    The song "The Man with the Corkscrew Eyes" features a sound clip from The Fever (The Twilight Zone) at the beginning of the song: "This machine... It's inhuman, the way it lets you win a little then takes it all back. It teases you. It holds out promises and wields you. It sucks you in and then..."

    The Man With The Corkscrew Eyes

    by: Tumor Circus

    The man with the corkscrew eyes
    Sees through walls
    Sees through lies
    Always knows
    Who's using who
    Who not to trust
    And what they'll do
    He alone
    Sees all
    For what it's worth
    And there lies the pain
    The man with the corkscrew eyes
    Sees through everyone
    Stays on Guard
    Never at home
    Anywhere
    Always wants
    To be somewhere else
    The real thing
    Without the games
    Does this exist
    Or is that too much to ask?
    So alone
    Thinks for himself
    The load is heavy
    And there lies the pain
    My brain radar's
    Working all the time
    Can't turn it off
    It's always on
    When I least expect it
    A spark, a fire
    I feel inspired
    I feel inspired!!
    These crazy ideas
    Crawl in my mind
    They light me up
    I'm whole again
    Keep me awake
    Won't let me rest
    Rather toss and turn
    Than go through my life asleep
    Free alone
    Never bored
    I am...Alive
    Alive
    Alive
