Putrescine And Cadaverine

(album: To The Dead - 2022)

Noxious decay steals the breath from your lungs
Nauseated by this necrotic gunge
Fluids leak through plastic as necrovores feast
Amino acids break down within the deceased

Decarboxylation, ornithine decays
Regurgitation, chunks haphazardly sprayed

The stench, of cadaverine
You retch, huffing putrescine
In death, these compounds released
Breathe deep

The stench, of cadaverine
You retch, huffing putrescine
In death, these compounds released
Breathe deep putrescine and cadaverine

Death warmed over smells worse than it looks
You spew, unprepared by your anatomy books
Nostrils besieged by cadaveric vapors
Uncontrolled eruction earns your colleagues' disfavor

Decarboxylation, arginine breaks down
Regurgitation, spatters your medical gown

The stench, of cadaverine
You retch, huffing putrescine
In death, these compounds released
Breathe deep

The stench, of cadaverine
You retch, huffing putrescine
In death, these compounds released
Breathe deep putrescine and cadaverine

The odor ingrained
Leaving a permanent stain
Your mind starts to reel
Your thoughts can no longer congeal

The stench, of cadaverine
You retch, huffing putrescine
In death, these compounds released
Breathe deep

The stench, of cadaverine
You retch, huffing putrescine
In death, these compounds released
Breathe deep putrescine and cadaverine
