Artist: otep
Song: suicide trees
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'
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
And 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, my love
So here we are again
The sheets are stained and bloodied
The animals scratch at my skin
Here we are again
My face is scraped and 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
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's not 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
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 and labor, hate your neighbor
Faith in favor, obey
Toil and labor, hate your neighbor
Faith in favor, obey
Obey, obey
Here I do as I please, obey
Here in the suicide trees, obey
Here I do as I please, obey
Here in the suicide trees, obey
Hate your neighbor, hate your neighbor
Scratch at my skin
It's not happening
It's not happening
It's not happening
