Self-made

Otep

[intro]



..no..



find the defect

the reason,

the source of all this misery

-- and extract it ... forever.



what heals me - kills me!



[verse]



i'm a natural assassin

a massacre in action



i've never known remorse

or felt any compassion



this is my drug of choice

the reason demons rejoice



my rage remains

a beast untamed



... i bet you'll remember me now.

glutton!



i am heartbreak & depression

regret without redemption



a wounded animal

afraid of my reflection



i am an epidemic

this is a crime of passion



the willing weak deserve defeat

the penance will be savage!



... i bet you'll remember me now.

... i bet you'll remember me now.



[bridge]



bi-polar

self-abortion

mind fuck

can't escape

these chains

of shame

i'm stuck!!



swollen in the mud

barely standing still

hungry for the hunt

& the thrill of the kill!!



c o m e o n ! !



i've always been a shadow

content with my disease

- you'll never see it coming

cuz you never notice me

... unload!!



words are the remedy

words are the remedy



what heals me, kills me.

what heals me, kills me.



heal me, kill me

heal me, kill me



the plague rages on.



[outro]



i've built myself out of ash & agony, i am ready ....

i ... am ... i



i am my

own creation



i am

self-made



i am my

own creation



i am

self-made



destroyers!

i am i!



a bone heals,

a bruise fades,

but art is forever.
