Cannibal Corpse
Split Wide Open
[Verse 1]
Melting thoughts of disintegration
Hitting deep her insistance
To mutilate her newborn infants
After giving birth her mind wasn't the same
Slowly slipping away
State of mental decay
Family now complete
Father watches on
As mother dismembers her newborn son

[Verse 2]
Dissecting the specimen, split
I will explore, body wide open
Uncover carnage within
Split wide open
Virgin, untouched skin releasing her rage
That dwells inside, tainted blood rushes through veins
Body chemically changed, love was erased
On the edge of the butcher's knife
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah

[Bridge]
Kitchen becomes makeshift slaughterhouse
Every nine months she butchers one more child
Reminders of deceased, scattered through the home
[Verse 3]
Bones and skulls of sons and daughters, genitals ferment
In jars inside the cupboards for father to dissect
No one will discover the murder they commit
Children used like laboratory rats, sickening vulgar experiments
She sees what others can't, probing the guts of her fetus
Whoa
Advocation of the pain, mutilating, draining veins
Witness the horror, offering to themselves
Continuing murdering their own kind, never deny
This fantasy life, they enjoy

[Outro]
Addiction to this heightened state
Post-birth psychosis
Disjointing her own children
Form the life they'll never live
A massacre within her soul
Struggling for control
