Lyrics for Clandestine Ways (Krokodil Rot)

The human animal So similar in so many ways To our mammalian counterparts Experimented on in torturous ways We've freed the "specimens" We've taken over the facility We've captured these torturers Time to teach them some humility AH... syringes filled with dihydrodesoxymorphine I've combed the streets in search of hypodermic Needles and dirty sharp hoarding All aboard this ship of fools, this train of pain is finally boarding Tendinous disintegration, irreparable musculature goring Ah these shameless ways we get our fix... We get our kicks off human suffering Through puncturing the skin accidentally restructuring Epimysium covering No need for anesthetics, your research for cosmetics landed You here on my gurney, hurting, gurgling diuretics Tube in your anus leads to open sores creating sepsis Septic shock sets in - No asepsis in my cold aesthetics Apathetic, yet frenetic, simply unsympathetic, Shredded limbs needing prosthetics, best to just call off the medics How does it feel? Multi-Dermal peel - that shall never heal These clandestine ways - of distributing pain Diseased train of thought - krokodil rot Oh this desire... to see your limbs on fire... This sick exhilaration... of total excruciation... Ah these shameless ways we get our fix... We get our kicks off human suffering Through puncturing the skin accidentally restructuring Epimysium covering Now I believe I've seen everything Of what this subspecies is capable of producing Why do we do these things? Is this the meaning of "human being"? Bleeding is believing
