The Good Doctor is the first single on Haken’s Vector. It is a short and punchy prog metal track that many say is inspired heavily by Leprous. The song details the abuse a patient faces at the hands of a “doctor” in a mental asylum called Mountview Institution.
[Verse 1]
Calling Dr. Rex to Cell block 2
The nurses cry
20 inmates scream in their beds, but one
One is silent
An unusual case this one deluded
Psychotic then catatonic
The good doctor looks him up and down and smiles
It's time for a game
[Chorus]
Electricity is the prescription he needs
Bring him back to society
Electricity is the cure that he really needs
Bring an empire to its knees
[Verse 2]
Inside his mind, sparks fly
Vague memories of a caved in broken life
Inside his mind, sparks fly
Vague memories of a caved in broken life
[Chorus]
Electricity is the prescription he needs
Bring him back to society
Electricity is the cure that he really needs
Bring an empire to it's knees
[Bridge]
Make sure his arms are bound
And all his pills go down
Make all his secrets drown
Render his mind unsound
[Verse 2]
Inside his mind, sparks fly
Vague memories of a caved in broken life
Inside his mind (Inside his mind), sparks fly (Sparks fly)
Vague memories of a caved in broken life
[Chorus]
Electricity is the prescription he needs
Bring him back to society
Electricity is the cure that he really needs
Brings an empire to its knees
