Journey Through the Fun Palace of Despair
Lyrics
My brain's on fire, my brain's on drugs, call up the guard

And fill my cup, I feel so lost, I'm so alone, here in my room

Come fill me up, the door is locked, you can't get out

Said the voice of malice

There's one now, oh can't you see the eyes of fire

I hear the bark of the dogs, gotta make my choices

Search lights getting brighter

Please don't let them take my voices away
Fearing the loss of personal expression or identity, pleaded not to lose one's voices.
The pictures of, deep in my mind, the memories that can kill

I lick the wounds, they can't be cleansed because they
