Dark Science

The witchdoctor's in
Please take a seat
Let the subtle scent soak in
Watch your senses take their leave
Let me read your filthy palms
Like a star chart on the sea
The creases in your skin crawling
Like the spider's web we weave
And in every strand I see a path like a carrot on a string
The future's just a memory that's dangling out of reach

Of your cold heart, no spark
Restarting your true dark
With mismatched animal parts
Cannibal starved, natural
Death is just the start of progress

There's no need to be afraid, it's just dark science
There's no need to be afraid of the dark
There's no need to be afraid, it's just dark science
There's no need to be afraid

Let me read your tarot cards
Like a twisted puzzle piece
With every draw I paint a picture
Perfect murder scene
But if these mortuary walls could talk
We both know that they'd scream
Hindsight is the only judge and jury that I need

For your cold heart, no spark
Restarting your true dark
With mismatched animal parts
Cannibal starved, natural
Death is just the start of progress

There's no need to be afraid, it's just dark science
There's no need to be afraid of the dark
There's no need to be afraid, it's just dark science
There's no need to be afraid

I hate to say it, I know you hate it
But control is overrated and I know you can't contain it
So let go of all the thoughts that you thought were true
You're a lonely cog on the sewing loom
Time is a machine that weaves a tapestry
Of love and greed, and blood and demons
Trust and secrets, just you keep it
Must we fear the dark?

Of your cold heart, no spark
Restarting your true dark
With mismatched animal parts
Cannibal starved, natural
Death is just the start

There's no need to be afraid, it's just dark science
There's no need to be afraid of the dark
There's no need to be afraid, it's just dark science
There's no need to be afraid of the dark
