Otep - Livestock lyrics
[Otep - Livestock lyrics]
It began with a pen
In my hand stabbed
In the center of chaos
To write out the light that lives within me
That sought to break the darkness
Eating me alive
For hours I would sit dreaming, drawing
Writing, believing
My arm in a sling one eye swollen shut
Whispering there would be a way out
There must be a way out
Focused on the paper
On the floor that held me
Heavy as a stone in the corner
Of that tiny room floating on a river
Of Imagination
Isolated on my knees
Seeded in the soil with girls
Younger than I holding their backs
Arching puffed bellies
Stuffed full with their infected children
Celestial incest terrestrial insects
We slept in boxes that doubled as coffins
Because some were smart enough
To die
But not I stubborn little cyclops
I was destined
To fight
In my hand stabbed
In the center of chaos
To write out the light that lives within me
That sought to break the darkness
Eating me alive
For hours I would sit dreaming, drawing
Writing, believing
My arm in a sling one eye swollen shut
Whispering there would be a way out
There must be a way out
Focused on the paper
On the floor that held me
Heavy as a stone in the corner
Of that tiny room floating on a river
Of Imagination
Isolated on my knees
Seeded in the soil with girls
Younger than I holding their backs
Arching puffed bellies
Stuffed full with their infected children
Celestial incest terrestrial insects
We slept in boxes that doubled as coffins
Because some were smart enough
To die
But not I stubborn little cyclops
I was destined
To fight
