Cover art for My Feathers Needed Cleaning lyrics by His Name Is Alive

We're presented with three tracks, grouped under the name "Song of Schizophrenia"

"Hope Called in Sick" begins with a ticking clock and faintly-audible sound collage: suddenly erupting into heavily-distorted guitar.

The latter two songs are more melodic. "My Feathers Needed Cleaning" is the only one with lyrics, in a pleasing melody but oddly lacking in phrasing. The overly-regular delivery and rhythm lack emotion. Imagine hearing a voice. Initially, you may have understood it wasn't real, but (over time) you've come to accept its presence.

An unknown force intends to bury you alive (no matter whether you want it), but assures you it’s for a purpose. Difficult to think of being "taken" deeper underground as anything but a terrifying prospect. No matter how urgent it might seem "to better hear the thunder."

Immediately after, "The Well" begins. The third song’s gorgeous melody—wordlessly vocalized—is accompanied primarily by acoustic guitar.

Taken together? One gets the impression madness is filled with sudden changes: perplexing, terrifying, but occasionally evoking a soothing and unearthly beauty.
