Marilyn Manson - Overneath the Path of Misery lyrics

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death
Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow
A poor player that struts and frets
His hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more
It is a tale told by an idiot
Full of sound and fury signifying nothing

Stare into my Kodak Rome
Jack hammer ice eyes
I never thought you'd see the
Asphalt crack, crack
Crack like a black eggshell

Don't ever say I never warned
You from the start
Don't ever say I never warned
You from the start
You're not a shovel and I'm not your dirt

Is there any way to unswallow my pride?
Can I fuck myself down?
Why die, when you can kill the father?
Dad is missing an 'E'

No Macbeth confessed Oedipus
No longer present tense
No Macbeth confessed Oedipus
No longer present tense

No, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no, no reason

High and overneath high and overneath

I won't regret letting you live
Even if you forgot what you
Never saved me from
So I say whatever or fornever

For, for, for, for, for, fornever
For, for, for, for, for, fornever
For, for, for, for, for, fornever whatever

The rape of Persephone
Was choreographed by all the wrong Greeks
The rape of Persephone
Was a marketing scheme

Rape, rape, rape per so phony
Rape, rape, rape per so phony
Rape, rape, rape per so phony
Rape, rape, rape per so phony

High and overneath high and overneath

Overneath, overneath
Overblown, unbeloved, cannot be low
From the top of my lungs
To the bottom of my heart I scream
At the chasm in between
And the path of misery

Overneath, overneath
Overblown, unbeloved, cannot be low
From the top of my lungs
To the bottom of my heart I scream
At the chasm in between
And the path of misery

High and overneath high and overneath

No, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no, no reason
