Otep - Communion lyrics

rate me

I sold my soul

so long ago

& now I’m alone

here in the palace of sadness & madness & bone

then she said

to the ghosts in her head

I will find the edge

I will force my fingers in

I will sip from the slit

I will rip you to shreds

I will rip you to shreds

rape the nun

kill the saint

wear their skin

there is no way to escape

there is no way

you’ll escape

& I know

the road of truth is lined

with crucified criminals

& suicides

so maybe I’ll just cut my throat

maybe I’ll make you smile when I choke

hybrid creature of decay

there is no possible

way you’ll escape

rape the nun

kill the saint

wear their skin

there is no way to escape

there is no way

you’ll escape

“yesterday upon the stair

I met a man who wasn’t there

he wasn’t there again today

I wish that man would go away

I wish that man go…”

shadow man standing in my room

smearing conspiracies for me to consume

shadow man has a plan just wait & see

you’ll all be sorry for fucking with me

(come out & plaaaay)

shadow man

shadow man

please go away

shadow man

shadow man

please go away

I really don’t feel like playing today!

I’m not ignoring you

I’m just plotting your doom

in a world that’s ready to drown

don’t stop-we have you now!

rape the nun

kill the saint

wear their skin

there is no way to escape

there is no way

you’ll escape
