Suicide Trees - Lyrics by Otep


Lyrics

Spent my whole life in love with despair
Kept my lungs full with the breath of their air
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 starring back, like a dying dove
My love, my love

So here we are again
Sheets are stained and bloodied
Animals scratch at my skin
Here we are again,
Faces scrapped and bloodied
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

Bloody bloody bloody bloody MURDER!

So here we are again, in secret ceremonies
Changing shaping men
Here we are again
Pretending not to notice
The end is 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

Enjoy the flavour, Hate's your neighbour, faith in favour, obey
Enjoy the flavour, Hate's your neighbour, faith in favour, obey

OBEY
OBEY HERE IN THE SUICIDE TREES
OBEY HERE IN THE SUICIDE TREES
OBEY HERE IN THE SUICIDE TRESS
OBEY HERE IN THE SUICIDE TREES
OBEY

HATE'S YOUR NEIGHBOUR
HATE'S YOUR NEIGHBOUR

The animals scratch at my skin
It's not happening
It's not happening
It's not happening
It's not happening
