Otep - Suicide Trees lyrics

Suicide Trees

I spent my

whole life

In love with despair

Kept my lungs full

With the breath of thier

Mute atmosphere

I became

What I hate

And thus

Shall I remain

To give birth to a

Mighty assasin

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 [x2]

Betray [x2]

You are not unique

You do not need to think

Take it [x3]

I will [x3]

You succumb

So nicely

Like an insect staring back

Like a dying dove

My love [x2]

So here we are again

The sheets are staind 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 [x2]

Here in the suicide trees [x2]

No, bloody, bloody, bloody

Murder

Among the exciment of my sins

It's not happening [x7]

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 [x2]

Here in the suicide trees [x2]

Toil and labor, hate your neighbor, faith in favor, obey [x2]

Obey [x2]

Here I do as I please, obey, here in the suicide trees, obey [x2]

Hate your neighbor [x2]

Scratch at my skin

It's not happening [until fade out]
