Otep
Hooks and Splinters- Live; Edited
This is where
We take it back
Where I give my psychosis life

And it began
As all tragedies do

With a bruise and a blister
A lie and a whisper

It’s buried so deep
I must unleash this beast
But it’s just so far out of reach
These hooks and splinters

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

EVERYTHING IS DEAD
EVERY DAY IS BLACK

WORD BECOMES FLESH
BLOODIED, BURNED, & SCRATCHED

EVERYTHING IS DEAD
EVERY DAY IS BLACK
WORD BECOMES FLESH
BLASPHEMER!


In pain
Insane


A bullet in the head
A knife wound in the .....
I cried, as my innocence died

I cried
As my innocеnce died

No
No
NOO!!

DEATH WILL HAVE MERCY
I WON'T

HERE IN THE SERIAL-KILLER HOLY LAND
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 IT INSIDE YOUR SOUL & MAKE IT WEEP FOR ME

FROM SLAVE TO MASTER!
I'VE BECOME THE HYRDA!
MORE HEADS & VENOM!

IT HIDES!
INSIDE!!
ME!!!
