Suicide Trees Lyrics - Otep

I spent my whole life in love with despair 

Kept my lungs full 

With the breath of their 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 staring back 

Like a dying dove, my love, my love 

So here we are again 

The sheets are stained and bloodied 

The animals scratch at my skin 

Here we are again 

My face is scraped and bloodied 

I've 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 

No, bloody, bloody, bloody murder 

Among the excrement of my sins 

It's not happening 

It's not happening 

It's not happening 

So here we are again 

In secret ceremonies 

Changing shape, Amen 

Here we are again 

Pretending not to notice 

The illness 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 

Toil and labor, hate your neighbor 

Faith in favor, obey 

Toil and labor, hate your neighbor 

Faith in favor, obey 

Obey, obey 

Here I do as I please, obey 

Here in the suicide trees, obey 

Here I do as I please, obey 

Here in the suicide trees, obey 

Hate your neighbor, hate your neighbor 

Scratch at my skin 

It's not happening 

It's not happening 

It's not happening
