Otep - Suicide Trees lyrics
[Otep - Suicide Trees lyrics]
I spent my whole life in love with despair
Kept my lungs full with the breath of their
Mute atmosphere
I became what i hate and thus shall i remain
To give birth to a mighty assassin
Armed with a weapon of words
To defy the lies to never compromise
No today, my name is pain
(2)
I stood beyond the world
Whispering secret syllables
In the eyeless dark
Dancing wildly
Round and round on the rotting ground
Surrounded by the dead dusts of Hell
This is how i delete myself
& this is how i corrupt everyone else
Obey obey
Betray betray
You are not unique you do not need to think
Take it, take it!
I will i will i will
You succumb, so nicely
(like an insect staring back
Like a dying dove) my love (no) my love
(song)
So here we are again
The sheets are stained & bloodied
The animals scratch at my skin
Here we are again
My face is scraped & bloodied
I've nothing left to give - i wasn't there
- i'm not involved - i'm innocent
- it's not my fault
- i wasn't there - i'm not involved
- i'm innocent - it's not my fault
Here in the suicide trees
Here in the suicide trees
No bloody, bloody, bloody, MURDER!
Among the excrement of my sins!
It's not happening, it can't be happening
It's not happening
So here we are again in secret ceremonies
Changing shape, amen
Here we are again pretending not to notice
The illness sneaking in
- i wasn't there - i'm not involved
- i'm innocent - it's not my fault
- i wasn't there - i'm not involved
- i'm innocent - it's not my fault
Here in the suicide trees
Here in the suicide trees
Toil & labor hate your neighbor
Faith in favor obey!
Toil & labor hate your neighbor
Faith in favor obey!
OBEY oBEY
Here, i do as i please!
Here in the suicide trees!
Here, i do as i please!
Here in the suicide trees!
OBEY!
Hate your neighbours! Hate your neighbours!
(the animals scratch at my skin)
It's not happening, it's not happening
Kept my lungs full with the breath of their
Mute atmosphere
I became what i hate and thus shall i remain
To give birth to a mighty assassin
Armed with a weapon of words
To defy the lies to never compromise
No today, my name is pain
(2)
I stood beyond the world
Whispering secret syllables
In the eyeless dark
Dancing wildly
Round and round on the rotting ground
Surrounded by the dead dusts of Hell
This is how i delete myself
& this is how i corrupt everyone else
Obey obey
Betray betray
You are not unique you do not need to think
Take it, take it!
I will i will i will
You succumb, so nicely
(like an insect staring back
Like a dying dove) my love (no) my love

So here we are again
