Otep - Communion lyrics

I sold my soul

so long ago

& now I'm alone

here in the palace of sadness & madness & bone

[V1.]

then she said

to the ghosts in her head

I will find the edge

I will force my fingers in

I will sip from the slit

I will rip you to shreds

I will rip you to shreds

[chorus]

rape the nun

kill the saint

wear their skin

there is no way to escape

there is no way

you'll escape

[V2.]

& I know

the road of truth is lined

with crucified criminals

& suicides

so maybe I'll just cut my throat

maybe I'll make you smile when I choke

hybrid creature of decay

there is no possible

way you'll escape

[chorus]

rape the nun

kill the saint

wear their skin

there is no way to escape

there is no way

you'll escape

[tunnel]

“yesterday upon the stair

I met a man who wasn't there

he wasn't there again today

I wish that man would go away

I wish that man go…”

shadow man standing in my room

smearing conspiracies for me to consume

shadow man has a plan just wait & see

you'll all be sorry for fucking with me

(come out & plaaaay)

shadow man

shadow man

please go away

shadow man

shadow man

please go away

I really don't feel like playing today!

I'm not ignoring you

I'm just plotting your doom

in a world that's ready to drown

don't stop-we have you now!

[chorus]

rape the nun

kill the saint

wear their skin

there is no way to escape

there is no way

you'll escape
