"PARANOIA/JUSTIFICATION/MAGNIFICATION"
(C. DeCracken)
[There Goes the Neighborhood]
[instruments play]
[instruments stop]
[m.b. Hellraiser 2] “I don’t believe you!”
[instruments play]
[instruments stop]
[m.b. Hellraiser 2] “But it’s true”
[Instruments play]
I knew, I always knew
and you didn’t believe me
The domain domes the atmosphere
They take place at the center
and remove their human guise
revealing faces of the unnamable
They come from afar
Rock bands from beyond
juvinating our minds with their music
preparing us for alien imperialism
[m.b. A Nightmare on Elm Street] “You knew all this time!?”
[m.b. Lord of Illusions] “He's saying that all the time.”
“No, he said that because he knew”
They have taken us to their base
A vortex of dimensions
[m.b. Phantasm 3] “Conquering dimensions, worlds unknown”
Now you see I was never paranoid
They were never from our world
[m.b. Phantasm 3] “Listen to me! There are thousands of them!”
In the asylum
I always hear
[b/g vocals (distorted mic)] “You are the paranoid”
I’m not the paranoid
[b/g vocals (distorted mic)] “You are the paranoid”
I’m not the one
It’s you who cannot see
[m.b. The Arrival] “I know”
[m.b. A Nightmare on Elm Street] “And you've been acting like it was something I made up!?”
In the asylum
I always hear
[b/g vocals (distorted mic)] “You are the paranoid”
I’m not the paranoid
[b/g vocals (distorted mic)] “You are the paranoid”
I can see
what you cannot see
[m.b. Hellraiser 2]
“That cop didn’t believe me”
“But that doesn’t mean you're not telling the truth”
[m.b. Hellraiser 2]
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s all true”
In the asylum
I always hear
[b/g vocals (distorted mic)] “You are the paranoid”
I’m not the paranoid
[b/g vocals (distorted mic)] “You are the paranoid”
You cannot see because
they control your eyes
I knew and you attacked me for it
You wanted to be blind to the truth
You wanted to be controlled
You wanted to be blind
[m.b. The Arrival]
"I am just so sorry. I didn't... believe about..."
"Then what are they doing here? The gentle persuasion, the little nudges about how I was wasting my life!"
[b/g vocals (distorted mic)] “You are the paranoid”
I’m not the paranoid
[b/g vocals (distorted mic)] “You are the paranoid”
You couldn’t see because
you wanted to be blind
[m.b. Return of the Jedi] “You were right. You were right”
I uncover hidden truth
You held to pleasure-feeding veils
[m.b. Spawn series #8] “It’s true”
I’ve always known
you didn’t want to see
[m.b. A Nightmare on Elm Street] “You've been acting like it was something I made up!?” (2x)
[m.b. Hellraiser 2 (right speaker)] “I knew”
[m.b. Lord of Illusions (left speaker)] “I knew”
[m.b. A Nightmare on Elm Street] “and you've been acting like it was something I made up!?”
So you held to any reason
any lie
striving to rationalize your guilt
...your remorse!
[m.b. The Arrival] "The little nudges about how I was wasting my life!"
Your lies could not separate me
from toil and strive
[spoken]
They capture bands from other dimensions
to play their games
They have brought all of us here
to play their games
[m.b. Phantasm 3] “Why?”
They want us
[m.b. Phantasm 3] “Why do you want me?”
They want us to play!
They want us to play!
[m.b. The Arrival] "You go back and you tell them that I know"
What other life has come here?
What depraved bands have joined them?
We must wait
We must wait until the Battle of the Bands
[instruments stop]
[m.b. A Nightmare on Elm Street]
"Now do you believe me!?"
