Hooks And Splinters

Otep

You fucking parasite!!

i'll beat you til you die!!!



it hides inside me,

it hides inside me!



sic semper tyrannus!



everyday you decay

in chains, dismayed

broken soul, splintered bones

ghost-children



in their graves, sold as slaves

unstable, greedy flames



life is a sacrifice

a 7 inch slice

the still-born waste

of a suicide christ



i'm learning to like the pain ....



i hope you die

we, broken people



i hope you die

we, broken people



it hides inside me,

it hides inside me!



everything is dead

every day is black



word becomes flesh

bloodied, burned, & scratched



everything is dead

every day is black



the face i wore was yours

as i launched this self-attack



hypocrite!

heretic!

blasphemer!



[bridge]



in pain.

insane.



a bullet in the head

a knife wound in the .....

i cried, as my innocence died.



i cried,

as my innocence died.



death will have mercy,

i won't.



here in the serial-killer holy land.

[i will sit, i will wait, i will make no mistake,

i will sit, i will wait, for as long as it takes]



it's not over,

we've only just begun.



like a fetus on the floor,

like an addict wanting more,

like a sex slave ... crying & sore ...



i want to smell the violence,

i need to see you bleed,

take me inside your soul & make it weep for me,

.... i need to believe.



[outro]



i will sit!

i will wait!

i will make!

no mistake!



i will sit!

i will wait!

i will make!

no mistake!



from slave to master!

i've become the hyrda!

more heads & venom!



it hides!

inside!!

me!!!



hooks & splinters!

hooks & splinters!



[it hurts to exist]
