Autopsy by Seizure

You see I work in this morgue and it's always dark and cold
And they bring in many bodies, I can't say that it grows old
Little kids, old people, sh*t it doesn't matter much
They're all turning purple and feel the same to touch
Then on one rainy day they brought in a body
Blood under his nails and his clothes were all shoddy
I peeled back the fabric and I made an incision
And I had to be so careful to do it with precision

I cracked open the ribs and peeled that sh*t back
Every rib that broke made a deafening crack
Just then the heart kicked on and started to beat
I watched the blood flow, ever so discrete
His lungs started to flow and his eyes rolled to the front
Then he sat up on my table and made a little grunt
He knocked me to the floor then he knocked over my tray
If I believed in God, this is when I'd pray

spooky...
Guess I had a lot of dark writings lately... if you count four months ago as being recent... wow, it's been forever.
