(Verse 1)

In a smoggy, gloom nightmare

Dark presence appears

Tugging on my brunette hair

Causing my crystal tears.

What lies in the cabinet?

I open it up

Then the colors twist and fade

I run shit out of luck.

So I pray to the figure

Please spare me my life

He looks down on me and doesn’t even think twice

He takes my every breath I’m breathing from the air

I may have bled to my final death, but man he doesn’t care.

(Chorus)

Welcome to the heart of schizophrenia

You will not survive

Won’t make it out alive.

We’re planning your death in the heart of schizophrenia

You are welcome here

Welcome to face your fears.

(Verse 2)

I now am resurrected

I am now a ghost

And all of my evil friends

They sit around and boast.

My death wasn’t as planned

But it was as planned as can get

Maybe tomorrow will get banned

And you’ll get the best of me yet.

You know as a schizophrenic

Life really ain’t all bad

I guess I’m living the death

That you all wish you had.

And now I must leave, my voices are calling me

They’ll haunt me again soon, you best believe what I see.

(Chorus)

Welcome to the heart of schizophrenia

You will not survive

Won’t make it out alive.

Let’s take off and fly in the heart of schizophrenia

Can’t break down and cry

Or your loved ones die.

(Bridge)

I soon break one of the mirrors

And destroy its face

I get rid of all the particles here

And I don’t replace.

I bring back my old friends

We party it up

We have it like very old times

But they just can’t measure up.

The ghost friends, I miss them

Can we do this again?

So I summon them back and

They come be my friends.

And when they appear here, they aren’t satisfied

They’ve come to take my sick dreams away and I think I’m about to die.

(Chorus)

Welcome to the heart of schizophrenia

You will not survive

Won’t make it out alive.

You’re killing us all in the heart of schizophrenia

Give it up and die

Don’t say you didn’t try.
