Essence - Blood Culture lyrics

rate me

It starts with the nature of the human race

As cryptic phantom symptoms

All dwelling in the thinnest veins but

Nothing can reveal the course for this pain

No biopsy or surgery will tell what lies inside of me

Vascular system infected by bacteria

Lymphatic system's overheating - WBCs are decreasing

Due to leucopenia caused by Zotepine

Rubor, Dolor, Calor, Tumor

Inflammation causing me to die

Inject the meds into my blood

Purify my inner thoughts

Running through my veins

Do it again I must

To cleanse my blood

Infected is my system; now a system of decay

Functio lesa, paralysis, toxic venom

Constant spreading through my veins

Central nervous system is shutting down

As my heart begins to fail I feel the pain of pinching nails

It's a needle penetrating the main artery

Delivering pure life in the form of penicillin

Now I'm healed, oh so healed

But it's only until it starts again

Now the fight is on to be

Hanging in there but

There seems to be no hope for me

All is gone -- nothing left

Except for one final crucial test

Please medicate my soul

Insanity is lurking and it's going to take control

Of a corpus oh so weak

Inject the meds into my blood stream

At last my system is recovering from

Severe intoxication and from decontaminating

Biological warfare is saving all of me

Though my mind is scarred for life

I am grateful I survived so now it's time

To leave this hospital for good

And to live the life I want

Not fearing what is in my blood

I want it all -- I don't care what it may cost

I want it all -- I won't waste this second chance I got

[Blood Culture:

A blood culture is done when a person has symptoms of a blood infection, also called bacteramiea,

Blood is drawn from the person one or more times and is tested in a laboratory to find and identify any microorganism present and growing in the blood,

If a microorganism is found, more testing is done to determine the antibiotics that will be effective in treating the infection.]
